My entry to the awesome Vietnam challenge, and a kite I have wanted to build for a while - the Douglas AC-47 Spooky.
She should be fully functional, if not 100% correct in every single detail...
This is also a first for me - custom landing gear. She wallows a little, but the gear holds up well when needed.
As with everything else I build - 100% mod free and produced on an iPhone.
Controls!
AG1 + VTOL up to raise landing gear - VTOL to neutral to lower again.
AG2 + VTOL up for landing flaps - be gentle with these - the Spooky tends to fall out out of the sky at the drop of a hat and really needs no help playing lawn darts.
AG3,4,5,6 - Drop flares, in pairs. Yes, this rhymes.
AG7 - Lights
Camera 1 gives you an "over the shoulder"look at the massive amounts of hell fire you are dropping on those poor VC.
Have fun!

lol thanks I guess @GhostHTX
@Kevinairlines Youre a good man.
No! Jk I will :) @GhostHTX
Thanks! @ChiChiWerx I would say that mine has more parts... but yours is a way more accurate shape. I like it a lot!
Wow, very nice, more detailed than my Gooney Bird, which I also built on my iPhone. As always, am very impressed at what you can do on your iPhone.
Hey @Kevinairlines I had to delete this and re upload, and now it is no longer a sucessor, despite using the pit from your challenge F-4.
Can you accept this entry, pretty please?
