Description:
The AVL-39D is a variable wing variant of the Pulsar MK II line. While the A, B, and C versions use normal wings, the D variant can adjust its wings to assist in air-to-air combat and assist in low-speed, stable flight. The main drawback to the aircraft is the increase in weight.

Notes:
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I made a variable-wing version of my Pulsar a while back. I figured I should put this one on the site since. While my other design is very practical, sometimes practical doesn’t always mean fun. Feel free to repaint this one, My builds are never that serious and are meant to be recolored. Just because I like my aircraft to be hotrod red does not mean it is the only way it’s supposed to look. Changing things like the accent lighting, and main color scheme can make it look a lot different and more personal, especially with the custom panels and seat I made for the interior. The light blue at the bottom of the color pad, and the dark red at the top of the color pad in the designer are the two colors you can change around if you want to keep things simple, but things like the chrome accent can be adjusted easily as well. If you ever have any questions feel free to leave a comment.

Other than that, I hope you have some fun flying around in this thing. It is a VTOL, so as always AG2 throttle to full to hover, swap from AG2 to AG1 to fly forward. Don’t forget to turn off AG2, the usual way to fly my builds, and hopefully next week I can get the ship I’ve been working on for some time debugged and posted.
