McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet by SR

Auto Credit Based on KGKRules1's P-51 Mustang

Activation 1 for landing gear up (linked to throttle).
Activation 2 to release centre fuel tank (un-used).
Activation 3 to release wing mounted fuel tanks.
All other activiations for weapons.

Colours of RAAF 77 Squadron.

Thrust vectoring linked to pitch and yaw. Credit to Authros for the superb noozzel/engine housing.

Pull up relatively quickly to hover on the tail and carry out acrobatics, but be warned, there is some extreme tourque involved and d spinning too hard will result in catestrophic failure.

Add the provided centre fuel tanks (very heavy) to change the CoM and create some 'interesting' flying dynamics (at your own risk).

See the video https://youtu.be/hnyF6VCRHE0

Enjoy. SR

    GO RAAF. nice job with the livery of the squad... But I can't tell if it is a super hornet or A/B as the 77 squad only flies A/B (not quite sure but they don't fly the super hornet) but you can't tell on this anyway... But great design nevertheless

    Just awesome. I congratulate you on the footage from your video because it was really difficult to regain control once you performed an acrobatic manoeuvre.

    These have inspired me... I might have to do my own experiments in both wing wizardry and thrust vectoring
