@Seabo14 I set all the aerofoils to flat bottom, including the tail. This causes it to nose down slightly in level flight, but avoids the problem of massive pitching up whilst dive bombing, allowing for far greater accuracy.
I have used different landing gear for stability, doubled flying surfaces for lift at slow speed, and pitch activated flaps for increased control. The weight of the extra armament is two inferno's, mounted forward of the original position. It could not possibly have destabilised it.
Does anyone else get missiles falling out the bottom? It worked before I uploaded, but I downloaded it on mobile and it appears to have not uploaded properly.
A new intelligence report suggests that the reason it is so similar to the RAF CAS is because the famous designer pike101 has recently been spotted on Wright Island under the name Pikeovlev, maybe he was working for the Russians all along...
@Seabo14, @WNP78, @Fierydragon, @Thefalloutplayer, and anyone else who wishes to contribute, please make a forum page that Seabo can link to in the description. You can use mine as a model, access it here
I have made a fourum post for my aircraft and I suggest we all do the same. The forum is at

hope you enjoy and it would be good if @Seabo14 could link to our pages in the description.
Happy Flying!
Allow me to clarify. Sub sonic means slower than the speed of sound, which, in air at normal conditions (this is an aircraft) is 762 mph (miles per hour (that is a measure of speed used in the UK)). your aircraft can go a lot faster than this. That means it is supersonic (faster than the speed of sound). Try simple English Wikipedia if you are still confused. Still, nice plane!
@Seabo14 Ok
@Seabo14 Correction, I mean more.
@Seabo14 pitching down tends to be a sign of a forward CoM. this results in a more stable, but less agile aircraft.
So can it land vertically?
@Seabo14 you will also find that aircraft that pitch downwards in untrimmed level flight tend to be more stable.

You need to add RCN's

???? No it doesn't
@tominator @Seabo14 Aren't the Swiss neutral, and try to stay out of wars like these. I think they have a lot of bunkers and are purely defensive.
@Seabo14 ???
my canards rotate ones for strafing whilst in level flight, and have no wing physics or effect on stability.
??? please explain
@Seabo14 I'd like to see alternative to my canards.
More XML'ed Engines. tut tut seabo
I have uploaded a new fighter! it has a bridge destroying gun, to compete with the seabco merlin @seabo14
@Jbr82 I have fixed it, along with other improvements in the successor. Thanks for the help and happy flying!
Also the islands are the other way round
I thought you said no XML modded engines
OK. I will work on a fix

I'd like to add mine at the top with yours
My page
Shame you didn't set this up as a forum post, because then you could input hyperlinks.
@fierydragon maybe north Korean planes are cardboard, and blow up when you say Kim Jon un is fat. (Which is all the time)

@Seabo14 @WNP78, sorry, post the link to forum posts in the comments then.
Just an idea, but could bandit be British, not North Korea?

Merlin B.Mk.1
@Seabo14 No it didn't, let me try
Also @Seabo14, to create hyperlinks, you put the text in square brackets, then the URL in normal ones afterwards. My aircraft
My first airplane is up, and linked to my forum post.
@Seabo14 By the downloads indicator, there is a drop down menu

Thanks!
It might be worth posting the main airplanes (I understand you have already made a fighter) in the description.
Also, Yeager was an American pioneer too
And I'm PikeolevPlanes, not PikeovlelPlanes
Shall we say massive nuclear EMP's took out electronics and missiles are banned?
@Skua yea. da hawk eez darn good.
Y'aint gettin ma drift man, dis is a friendly communizzle
@Seabo14 'BTW' aint a real word eiver man, dis eez a nice interweb communizzle, so quit criticisin ma idiolect man.
@Pipercub thanks!
@Seabo14 Yea but it dont say realistic lancaster ey daawwg, its a screamin micro!!

Favourited!
Great plane! I like the rear gun.
@G404786 Thanks
@Seabo14 Why did you remove your upvote? Are there any improvements I need to make to the plane?
