I really enjoyed flying this one, but it can be a little unstable at really low speeds when pitching. It goes 1100mph cruising easily, and 1250+ diving. It doesn't have a lot of fuel which is why I will release a fully loaded version later. Please comment, rate and enjoy. -- The Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet and related twin-seat F/A-18F are twin-engine carrier-capable multirole fighter aircraft variants based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The F/A-18E single-seat and F/A-18F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system.

    This plane went straight up, wobbled, then came crashing uncontrollably to earth. No offense meant, but it sucked in my phone

    @pzx Yes, there is a 1.1.5 version out for PC and Android. This is a beta for testing only. A new version will be released shortly for all platforms when the testing is complete.

    Your front gear implementation might allow SP software to ignore all in-flight drag? Dunno, but it works.
