Intro
The Switcorp GR-9 was originally designed in the year 2007. It is a multirole, potentially carrier based jet. The plane was intended to be a modernized hybrid between the F-8 Crusader and the Sepecat Jaguar. In 2009, the USAF ordered its first GR-9s. It is currently the only variable incidence wing fighter in service with the USAF.

When landing on carrier, be sure to come in almost level with the deck and as close to stall speed as possible
Wings automatically lock in place when VTOL is at zero, so make sure it gets there before high speed flying
Don't put VTOL down

No probs man! Thank you so much! Also, I saw that you were tagging a bunch of people in one comment. I think you can only tag like 4 people on one comment to notify them all. So if you want to notify them, simply make more comments with like 4 tags in each one.@switdog08

Oh yeah I do see that
@Carbonfox1
Very cool looking jet, I’d insert more wings to increase lift or disable drag in some parts as it fall like a brick when you kill the throttle. Neat looking build though!
I see some Folland Gnat in here too
Thank you! @Jeren777
