Red Cobra (Trainer)

339 dannyboy18  2.5 years ago

Hello again, I wanted to showcase a new jet I've been working on. This new member of the cobra family has a lot of cool features but performance wise it's a tad slow even for a cobra design and the handling could be better, so I figured it'd be fitting to make this a trainer variant instead of a dedicated dogfighter like many of the other cobra variants. This design was also something of a learning experience for me as well. I used a lot of new building techniques and I'm also featuring some new design elements made possible by the new update. One feature of note is an Auto-leveling system which can be toggled with Action Group 1. For now this is the only action group that does anything but that will probably change in future updates. The cockpit also includes some cool features to make more use of the new parts. Though this version is fully functional, I do plan on making quite a few future updates for this plane. However, future modifications of this design will likely only include changes for the cockpit so if that's not your kind of thing then this version will suffice. I really like how it turned out and I think you will too, so please check this one out.
