I'm happy to share my 10th EXF. A couple of you requested one with retractable landing gear, so here she is. She flies pretty well, the nose isn't too pitchy, I was thinking about trying to make it capable of VTOL to see if I could succed in me own challenge... It proved too hard for the amount of time that I had. This was another very fun build, hope you have fun flying it. The landing gear goes up with the throttle, so once you're up in the air, hit AcG=1 to let it fold up. Then the missiles fire with AcG's 2, 3, and 4. Don't forget to come back to rate and comment and voice any questions or concerns.

14.0k ElijtheGeatYeah, I know, that happened to me too:( I tried for about 30 min trying to find a way to keep that wing attached, but couldn't find a way to do so on my little iPod :( so I attached a few RCNs on the bottom of it so that you could still have some control over the longitudinal axis @corey13249.6 years ago
