READ DESCRIPTION
(It will help your flying experience.)
I have had a whole load of fun building this entry for Franticmatty’s V-Bomber challenge! The aircraft I have come up with takes most of it’s inspiration from the Avro Vulcan. As the challenge required atleast one 5 ton bomb, I installed three for good measure. The Vantage comes with canards for optimised opperation of takeoff and landing. Cockpit and bombardier station included. Painted in anti-flash white, because big bombs make pretty lights. Here is how the plane works; VTOL down is to open bombay. Canards are controlled by trim. Afterburner is activation group 1. Group 2 for drag chute. For takeoff, use 100% dry thrust and full trim. After your gear is stowed, open reheat with group 1. At full reheat and full bomb load, keep about 10% trim for stable flight. Good luck to all of the other aircraft in this challenge... Enjoy!
