It's hard to pitch up with this thing, so put some trim until you're satisfied. I know the controls might be a bit confusing at first but they are meant to be comfortable. 4 for the carpet bombing (0.1 second release interval, doesn't work if you change the loadout), 7 to jettison weapons, brake for aerobrakes. It's kind of a 1:1 replica, even though the engines aren't 100% accurate.

good job but the cockpit is missing some details
On paper it was made only for observation, but these planes were often modified to carry weapons such as bombs, rockets, small missiles, grenade launchers, miniguns, etc. I modified mine to carry 8 edited-bom 50s to be able to carpet bomb. 1 carpet bombing can sink the USS Beast. It doesn't reach the maximal speed of the original, and I was forced to edit the horsepower and blade diameter of the engines to at least get 75-95% of the originals' speed. It still has some good STOL capabilities, taking off from the USS tiny is a piece of cake (with a bit of experience). Terrible post-stall recovery tho.
