Boulton Paul Contumacious MkII 5.6

235k RamboJutter  5.8 years ago

AG1 to shut engine bay doors
AG2 to shut U/C doors (front wheel)
AG3 to retract flaps
AG4 to drop external tanks
I suggest 50-60% throttle on takeoff for a more realistic run out, ive got the drag and power set for its top speed which leads to a seriously rampant takeoff on 100% power.

With the emergence of the DO335, the British required an equivalent to act as a long range heavy night fighter / interdictor. Boulton Paul won the contract with the Contumacious and building on their experience with the Defiant they built a plane which had a rear defensive/offensive turret but with the addition of wing mounted cannon. It utilised 2 RR Merlin engines powering counter rotating propellors which gave excellent speed and accelleration. It had an unusual undecarriage arrangement which evolved from reducing the length of the nose and thus the standard 3 wheel (nose wheel) arrangement became un-feasible due to balance point but the new 4 wheel arrangement made prop strikes very unlikely and allowed for increased braking power on landing.

It does take a while to load (sorry again, ill have to figure out when the load time happened to source the problem)

Ive named it due to the constant annoying things that kept happening during the build, fix one thing another pops up, its taken ages to build as i kept getting annoyed with it.... hence the other releases in the mean time.

This was build number 4 on my forum post

    @8bitgamer33 mhm, so do real ww2 aircraft as the hydraulic pressure is greater in one side.

    The right main gear leg retracts slower than the left one.

    @Rambojutter, I was looking for the reasons for the load time, here's what I found.

    It isn't the cammo
    it isn't the engine detail
    it isn't the opening panels

    I removed about 350 parts but it still takes a moment....

    @Spitfirelad05 there is a 2 seat trainer of the do335, and in my opinion that's always been the better looking version, hence the layout of this
