Fixed a little unbalanced weight - Sorry for that

SNAW NEPTUNE (Original one: http://www.simpleplanes.com/a/KV733c/SNAW-XSP-50-Neptune)

(This is another tuning of an old project – I love to apply my new 3D wings and new engines/air intakes to old planes – but during works, I applied my initial idea of upper missiles bays. The plane was born to have them, but at the time I was unable to manage the editor to obtain a fully funcional result)

The SNAW NEPTUNE it's a fantasy plane designed to fit the late '50 and '60 co old war needs. A big long range amphibie interceptor perfect to fly over the ocean and take down the enemy bombers.

It can be refueled from subs, so it can stay virtually unlimited time on duty. As usual at the times, it has no guns, but only six long range air-air missiles. The weapons bay are on the back instead on the belly because during sea take off or sea landing missiles must be protected from water – salt water can cause malfunctions in missiles.

Cruising at 20-22% thrust it flies subsonic, but in fight action it can became an about mach 2 flash.

USER MANUAL:

VTOL DOWN = Open missile bays (do it before launch weapons, or you will die!)
1/2/3/4/5/6 = Missiles
B Brakes

Remember: In water take off, RAISE GEAR BEFORE GIVE THRUST!! :D
