Just a small side project. Also my first bomber and it's kinda hard to build, especially the fuselage wings.

Some info
A fast strategic bomber designed like the English Electric Canberra except that it is smaller and it lacks an internal bomb bay.

I tried making a nuke but it ended up as a guided bomb with the power of 10x Boom 50s. Might lag on some devices.

Controls:
AG2- drop and activate bomb
AG8- lock plane control surfaces

Bombing Instructions:
- Use trim to level the plane, deactivate AG8 then drop the bomb with AG2, preferably at high alt.
- Switch camera to control bomb with normal plane controls.
- Pilot the bomb to the target!
- Switch back to plane view, reactivate control surfaces via AG8 and fly normally.

Hope you guys like it! New single engine fighter coming soon and possibly a flying wing!

    @Tang0five I actually have plans for a larger bomber. Might do that.
    @destroyerP it's my first bomber, but I'll try more complex stuff on my next one, maybe a bomb bay or something.

    Firstly that bomb is awesome and a lot of fun! I'd love to see a plane with multiple bombs like these!

    Try more complex since this is too simple :)
