This F-18 Hornet is well suited to carrier operations from the USS Beast. It comes equipped with a 'catapult' launch system for carrier takeoffs, and its low(ish) stall speed (around 115 mph) allows it to land on the USS Beast (and maybe even the USS Tiny, in skilled hands) To operate the 'catapult' first give the engines full power, wait a few seconds, and then activate group 1. Once off the carrier deck, activate group 2, then deactivate group 1. Then the gear can be retracted as per a normal flight. There is also a camera positioned next to the 'catapult' so you can get an external view of your launches if you want.

Fair enough @Deadly8Nightshade
@SajabAerospace haha i know, i just like this one better than the one with the catapult (don't ask why)
Thanks for the spotlight @Deadly8Nightshade
Btw, I've just uploaded an improved variant with a 'proper' catapult, amongst other details, you can find it either under the successors to this post, or here
