Updates Planned: DEC2021, Update is planned for late December. The proper livery is going to be added, and I'm going to make some changes to BioWares model to make it more enjoyable to look at, in addition a much better cockpit.

Greetings Lord or Darth (enter name here). As a loyal citizen of the Empire, do you find yourself battling those pesky Republic types?

THIS CRAFT IS VTOL ONLY

How to Fly VTOL

Take Off: Engage Engine 2 and increase power, once aircraft is airborne Engage Engine 1, once up to a speed excess about 200 mph disengage Engine 2. Do the reverse for landing. Be sure to disengage the Hover Engine when using the main flight engine, as it will damper your maneuverability.

As stated in the instructions, turn off AG2 during normal flight, or you'll spiral out of control, AG2 is for landing and takeoff

Overview:
Yes I know, an entire galaxy, and an entire fleet of ships to choose from, why pick BioWares gift to the Stars Wars lore, a S-12 Black Bolt? Well, it started out as a test model for some other projects I'm working on, and lets be honest, there's enough Tie Fighters out there to choose from, so why not go old school with a build, or in this case, Old Empire. After playing around with it a little, it eventually turned into a Black Bolt. I took some creative liberties when it came to making the cockpit, elongating the crew to fit an additional pilot, and an Astromech droid, and adding landing gear since it just plopping onto the ground just sounds like lazy design.

    @Hellfire3627 yeah it is a bit touchy at straight and level roll, I'm probably going to have to make it's control surfaces smaller. Just so I have an idea, are you flying it with mobile controls?
