FOX-AIR M7A6
Credit to the original builder. I modified the original heavily to make this baby. Variable geometry wings for speed and agility. Forward wing cuff alters leading edge shape with throttle to increase lift at slow speeds. The massive air inlets allow her to operate at high speed and altitudes but down low they act as a speed brake and thus landing her can be a challenge especially with power off. Given the nature of the engines it will take some time for them to spool up as well as shut down. This makes landing approaches pretty much a high speed "fly it to the deck" affair. AG 7 releases the landing parachutes. AG 8 is for lights. trim is trim. Vtol is for wing sweep. Throttle also controls the forward wing cuff angle. Manuvering Stall speed is around 300 mph but can be as high as 500 with the wings swept forward in a hard turn. 180 is stall speed with a high rate of decent no maneuvers are possible at this point, she will snap roll into the ground if attempted. So it is important to know when to wave off the approach as it takes approximately 3 to 5 seconds for the engines to spool up and build airspeed. Missile racks rotate on the wings as they sweep to keep them facing forward. they have not been combat tested for clipping or suiciding issues.* ag 1 releases outer wing station pods, ag2 releases center ship pod.
