A cheecky wee tilt rotor here.
AG1 toggles the cruise engines
AG2 does nothing
AG3 opens and closes the cargo door
AG4 releases the cargo
AG5 opens the cargo parachutes
AG6 nothing
AG7 toggles control gyro
AG8 toggles the stability gyro
VTOL controls rotor angle
Trim allows for trimming of the pitch
This uses a modified version of F104deathtraps B-29/50 nose.
More details soon!

Thanks! She is an interesting specimin, no doubt. Four turboprops and eight turbojets... And she is still underpowered, I think. @ChiChiWerx
This is an interesting beast, the engines take a really long time to develop thrust. Makes it challenging to land on the carrier, but it can be done!
Niiice!!!
Cheers old bean! She is a rather interesting proposition indeed. A word to the wise; I may have forgotten to assign the cruise jets (on top of the fuselage) to AG1. Hovering might be a bit... interesting unless you fix this. @Tang0five
Oh boy I’m taking this out as soon as I can old boy, looks fantastic!
@GhostHTX true but these bad boys make a V-22 blush in shame! hahaha
He he look at the Bell v-22; that was my inspiration for this. She has them big props too. @Carbonfox1
I dont think the props are big enough, lol
Excellent! Im in! @ACEPILOT109
I haven’t even started to test and grade planes yet because of school, so this can still be part of it
Why thank you kind sir. @Texasfam04
flies really well great job!
Iknowrite? @Strikefighter04
Those rotors though...
Many thanks! I was thinking that this would be perfect if you happened to have a hundred or so Spetznaz to move around...@grizzlitn
I like it very much, I Soviet party would at least produce some of them :)
Cheers! Thanks for the spot, upvote and kind comment. I had a back story in my head that the Soviets were looking for a use for some surplus TU-4 bomber fuselages... Alas I am too late for the challenge... @Treadmill103
