Author's notes

AG2 is a multipurpose activation group. With gear down and in the air, AG2 lowers the arrestor hook. With gear down while grounded, AG2 activates NWS high. With gear up (and presumably flying), AG2 extends the refueling probe.

When performing carrier landings, keep AG2 activated until the arrestor hook automatically detaches.

To perform a takeoff with it's variable incidence wings:

Full Flaps
Full Trim
Full Pitch
Throttle to 100%


Feel free to modify it however you want, I would like to see it hehehe. Anyways thanks for upvoting. And btw, if you notice it has ReinMCDeer style, that's because I based it on his builds. I got inspired from him and NewWorldAerospace too

    Took a little getting used to flaps and trim being on the wrong hand, but in the end, the movable wing nose did it for me. This aircraft is a showcase of what Simpleplanes really can do
