Strive 51
An angular retro-futuristic fighter.
Credit: @Kerbango for the digital Radar and Speed Indicator. I changed the speedo font to white but left the radar green because it looks super cool. These items give the cockpit layout a mixed look that I like.
Use full THROTTLE for take-off, then set THROTTLE and TRIM as required. Slight drift to right during take-off, but best to let it run.
Use 5% THROTTLE and VTOL fully down for landing. Once down, THROTTLE off and BRAKE gently.
Use 1% Throttle and ROLL for taxi steering.
AG1 enables Interceptor missiles x 6
AG2 enables Guardian missiles x 2
AG3 enables Cannon
AG4 enables Flares
Extract from Colonel Fielding’s memoir:
“…Up ‘til then, all our ops from XTA were secret; no lights, no squawk, and we engaged the ‘saucers’ while they were airborne and still hot from atmospheric entry. We and the Government knew that once landed and dug in, they were pretty much indestructible. Eventually and inevitably, gun camera footage leaked to social media and that’s when we decided to fly loud and proud with that silly cartoon alien face on our tails. Someone recently asked me what ‘they’ actually looked like, and I told them straight that I didn’t give a damn, as long as ‘they’ were in a body bag…”
