Skill Required: Medium
AI Level: Untested
Lore:
The F/A-215C was a basic VTOL Multi-role fighter designed to take on a variety of missions from carriers, lander crafts and even destroyer decks. Techniques mastered in Project Raven were passed along in this design to make VTOL to flight transitions smooth and seamless.
Though not as agile as the XF-417 Raven, it brings a much higher payload capacity, much lower landing speeds, and a compact size perfect for carrier operations.
Controls:
AG1- Main Flight Engine
AG2- VTOL Engine
AG3- Tailhook
AG3/Trim- Fold Wings
AG5- Lights
AG6- Detach External Fuel Tank
VTOL Instructions:
VTOL Takeoff- Mode switch to AG2 Increase power to 80%, increase altitude, and switch to AG1. At 150 mph and deactivate AG2
VTOL Landing- Decrease speed to less than 100 mph deactivate AG1 and activate AG2. Pitch up and pull back on stick. Once at lower speeds, decrease throttle to less than 60% to land.

@EchoWhiskey11 ok
@CptJacobson well the cockpit (minus some stubborn levers) is done, finishing up in the canopy, and working on the decals. I'm tapping out on that emblem. It's going to add too much weight and sacrifice performance. I could XML modify everything but its just going to take a lot of time. I'm making a custom squadron logo instead. It's going to have details that you'll see on planes like my Raven.
Hey how's the bliss coming? @EchoWhiskey11
