Lightning-X3 (redesigned)

1,718 Davjlee  5.4 years ago

I reworked my JLX Lightning aircraft for increased maneuverability and attack capability. This version has a shorter takeoff requirement and a higher top speed. Unfortunately, I am still working out the yaw ability though the aircraft is steerable on the ground with the rudder. I removed the side mounted guns in favor of the wing guns. AG2 and AG3 operate the missiles which are Interceptors and Guardian missiles. This version also adds the cable hook for carrier landings operated by AG7. AG6 operates the chute, and AG5 turns on the flares. I am continuing to update yet another version specifically for racing and non-combat applications. As always, have fun!
