F/A-18 Hornet

53.2k SweetSuccubus  1.9 years ago

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing) and Northrop (now part of Northrop Grumman), the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations, and formerly, by the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.

Hornet has been my project for a long time, but since the cockpit feature and VR...i need to scrap all my plans but i miss this one so instead scrapping this one i try rebuild it again...no cockpit of course (too lazy to build, we already have wasp)

CONTROLS:
AG1: hook (a bit buggy)
AG2: fold wings
AG3: drop external tank
VTOL: Flaps
Trim
