Rework Series : F-71 "Duke"

9,481 Razor3278  7.5 years ago

The 7th and last plane of my rework series. I finished the series a bit faster than i expected. Anyways, the Duke is a land based fighter armed with 4x 20mm cannons. It is fairly fast and maneuverable, and relatively easy to fly. It served the air force until it was replaced by the F-72 "Sultan".

Known in its prototype stages as the Gladius, its final production version was renamed "Duke".

Controls/Instructions :
AG1- gun activation
VTOL down- flaps
- Slides a bit to the right while taking off but flies well once its in the air.

Thanks to @Kevinairlines for the engine!
