Experimental Strike, Future Tech Fighter. Designed for long range strike mission, this hyper sonic fighter is equipped with 4 turbo charged Vulcan Cannons and 8 50lb AG Boomfurnos and 2 Cleavers. One of the most notable features is the lack of any traditional control surfaces. The plane is controlled entirely by thrust vectoring. There are deployable wings for the few times you might have to dog fight, but this is not the primary flight mode.






AG1=Deploy wings for high maneuverability mode.

AG2=Enable/Lower AG weapons (8 Boomfurnos and 2 cleavers)

AG3+Vtol up=Vtol Mode.

AG4=Flight/Park mode switch. Deploys vertical stabilizers, WARNING! Do not go to full throttle (Scram Jet engine) with landing gear down.

Vtol Down=Thrust Vectoring Engines, pitch+roll to control.

AG7+Throttle=ScramJet Hyper Engine 4000+mph at sea level. Collapses vertical stabilizers for better aerodynamics.

Enjoy!

    @ChefPhatMan I just did a fresh download on my phone and everything works fine. Maybe try reinstalling the plane, or perhaps SP. Not sure what else to tell you, I've verified proper operation on Android and Window platforms. I dont have an I phone so maybe someone else can confirm that.

    @RodWan then something must be wrong with either my install or your save of your plane because i keep trying to use the activation groups and things are messed up. for example your AG1 which is supposed to be deploy wings is now open mini gun bay for shooting stuff.
