Drop plane and Tow Plane

75 GeneralDynamics  8.8 years ago

This is intended to be a fun little Dive bomber. Use the tow plane to get up to altitude and close to the target then hit activation 1 to drop the jet and make your attack run. I like to use rockets but you can put a Boom 25 on the wingtips as well. After you complete your attack run just use the break to land in the water. It floats. The idea is that a boat comes and picks you up after the attack. I put a cockpit and a camera on the Tow plane to simulate a second pilot. Hit activation 2 to ditch the spindly landing gear. For takeoff just go full throttle till you hit the end of the runway and drop the gear. Anyway a fun little project for a destructive little plane.
