Special Mentions:

Big thanks to @11qazxc for providing me with the sequence timings for the fuselage lights.

Hello there!

This is just a simple Christmas-themed build. This is a remake of my FC-80, or will be. I was trying to get this done in time for today. I promise a completed, more complex remake will arrive at some point. I mainly needed to keep the part count down because of the mechanics of the build.

I used this as my inspiration:

This is the thumbnail for Tom Scott's video on a certain British Aerobatics team that attaches Fireworks to their Grob powered gliders.
Here's the link to the video: Video link

Controls:

AG-1: Pyrotechnics, Smoke trail and fuselage light strips
AG-2: Landing Lights
AG-3: Navigation lights
AG-4: Beacon and Tail Lights
-AG-8: Fuel Cutoff, turn off electrics and open canopy
VTOL [Down]: Flaps
Trim: Trim

Engine covers can be opened via the button latches when AG-8 is off.

When AG-1 is on, fireworks can be fired with FireGuns,
Flares can be fired with Countermeasures release
and Smoke trail can be fired from
Air-to-Gnd mode (rocket to use smoke, bomb to release the smoke generator)

NOTAMS

• For some reason, the aircraft likes to veer off the right on takeoff, so watch out for that.
• The nose wheel is disables when you're not moving and activates when you begin moving. It also disables when you exceed 18 mph.
• There is probably some slight autoroll
• It was quite difficult to get the lights on the fuselage to work like they do in the video.

Okay, I wish you all good luck and hope you have a happy rest of 2021!
