F-104 (JATO)
READ CONTROLS TO MAKE LIFE EASIER
A JATO aircraft, the F-104!
Was on a Camodo Gaming Video
About the pla... I mean rocket!
After a launch that did not include a crash, the plane flys very nice! Just make sure to drop the JATO thing when done.
This took many hours to make it have at least a 80 percent success rate, the original one compared to this is so different, it may be posted.
Disclaimer!
The rockets where not made by me, if you know who made them, let me know so I can credit them!

Inspiration
!PILOTS NOTE!
This plane is not a 100 percent success rate kinda thing. Always let your engine spool ALL THE WAY UP! Then don’t put the jacks down (VTOL) for one reason the jacks mess it up!
Ex:
Other than that, happy flying, and happy unplanned disassembly!
-Enjoy!

Yeah lol @GeneralOliverVonBismarck
Yea, I saw! Lol @Zyvx
Can I get a link! @Zyvx
Congratulations, I saw this on you tube komodo gaming video, he got it to fly. The video was harrier strike jet and large cargo plane, he tried this creation in the later half of the video.
Yea lol @Hyattorama
I honestly am kinda surprised that this is a real plane haha. Seems dangerous... @ACEPILOT109
Yea, it’s really fun to fly around @Hyattorama
Wow, this thing is fun!
Thanks! I put a lot of effort just to get it to not blow up, lol @cedblox332
it works great! Thanks ACE
There is also RATO, Rocket Assisted Take Off @Undyne
@ACEPILOT109 yeah i know i only thought about It after
Thanks dude! @Tang0five
The way I put it, it’s supposed to mean Jet Assisted Take Off @Undyne
Seems to work well enough - quite a novel build!
JATO is the Portuguese word to jet. For a second i thought vou were Brazilian
Thanks! @Zyvx
This is a neat idea, works pretty good too. Over 1000 downloads already, awesome. Good work.
Yea, I made one with normal gear but it would never work right, so I compromised on the landing gear being a tad bit ugly. So yea, it was the launching rails. @ChiChiWerx
Thanks man! @GreatHenry
Well, this is the second build tonight which had four landing gear! Why did you put two nosegear on this build—just curious, did it have something to do with the launch rails?
You f$cking krazy! Upvote!
Yea, may have some changes to it @Spectre2520
So this is the one I saw on the video @ACEPILOT109
