Quite possibly the worlds most versatile aircraft! This jet is a heavily modified version of Jundroo's Sea Plane (based on the Lake LA-250 Renegade) featuring VTOL capabilities with auto-hover, semi-realistic cockpit control panels, a nose-mounted minigun, and 6 weapon pods.
Controls:
AG1 releases ballistic parachutes
AG2 turns on nav/strobe/beacon lights
AG3 turns on formation lights
AG4 lowers wingtip pontoons
AG5 drops payload from weapon pods
AG6 activates radar jammer
AG7 activates VTOL mode, auto-hover only works with nozzles fully down, use brakes to lower altitude while hovering.
AG8 now serves as the quick-start switch. Deactivating it enables the use of the aircraft systems control panel and allows you to independently control battery power, avionics, fuel, engine start, engine generator, hudraulic pump, and fire suppression switches.
Enjoy!
(Updates: realistic cockpit controls, re-worked jet nozzles, automated flaps to stay full down until 120 mph and transition to full up by 200 mph, added FAA compliant lighting, added radar jammer (super long piston that moves the flight control computer away from the rest of the aircraft), changed paint to serve as a rudimentary camouflage for water and foliage while retaining the appearance of a business jet, added a cover to the minigun that automatically retracts when a target is selected, auto-hover mode, created Leatherman missiles (air to air and air to ground, waterproof, fire and forget, 6ish mile range), re-worked weight and balance to be more realistic)

@BOSKnight thank you, brother!
@Vilhelmzen here
@CrazyPlaness may you change the autocredit to my Seaplane challenge?
@BOSKnight I tried to build this as a successor for the seaplane challenge, but I couldn't for the life of me get that version to fly straight. Hopefully I submitted this right, if not, let me know what I need to do to enter this aircraft into the seaplane challenge.
