Tried out the new cockpit parts (yes im late) and felt like making a pseudo-space fighter
Now this one is a little special boi,
First of all, start it in the air, it doesnt have conventional gear.
Flying it is just as normal as ever, just dont pull up too much while flying slow or it'll snap on you.
Now onto the Activation Groups
AG2 Enables the Smoke Trails, these are gonna be helpful for landing
AG8 is RCS as always
Landing Gear does something funny, you see those pods on the inner wings?
Yeah thats the gear, this thing is a Tailsitter. Prepare to suffer.
Now how do you land it?
My approach is usually :
1-Enable smoke
2-Reduce Throttle
3-Level the wings
4-Pull up hard while reducing throttle, make it stall, extend the gear
5-Keep it vertical with RCS and play with throttle to keep it hovering
6-Carefully bring it to your chosen landing site
7-Also make sure that you're moving very very slow or else it can tip over on touchdown
Also here a thing for those that like a challenge
For those who dont have Smoke Trails

Did you know that you can download a modded plane and if you don't have the mod, you hit back and then forward/redo, the game will load the plane w/o mods.
@Koww Here you go
@Koww just download, reverse action, then redo action, should appear without the mod
Can you make one without the smoke trail?
