How to use

The main buttons are in the cockpit, to arm the weapons you gotta go into the cockpit and flip a switch that says "activate weapons".

For better ground turning, activate the nose gear turning inside the cockpit.
AG 1, 2, and 3 control the lights, there's also switches in the cockpit for that.

To use the jettison system you have to select what you want to jettison first (Weapons or the fuel tanks) then you hit the big red JETTISON button.

You can open the canopy with AG5 or with a switch inside the cockpit, you can also eject, (AG7 for parachutes)

There's screens on the cockpit too, you need to click them to turn them on.

    @ItsTomcatTuesday Honestly, I don't know how to fix it myself. I myself have only recently learned how to make a "flight model".

    @ItsTomcatTuesday you don't quite understand me. I see that the flaps are moving out, but there is no lifting force.

    @Valiant2017 Hello, for the flaps you gotta push the VTOL down, it does not have a good turn rate because it's meant to be an interceptor.

    There are questions about the controllability of the aircraft. Besides, I didn't quite understand: are the flaps working or not? And so, the model is not bad. There aren't enough cannon on this plane.
