Mitsubishi F-3 WidowMaker (re-upload)

36.2k ToeTips  one month ago

Probably my best 400 part plane ever

Synopsis

The Mitsubishi F-3 WidowMaker is a single engine multirole stealth fighter built by Mitsubishi in collaboration with Northrop Grumman. It was made to replace the ageing F-2 and to fill the void the F-35 left after the deal with Lockheed fell through. It was built to be the evolution of the F-2, while still having the abilities of the F-35.

Features

-PID fly-by-wire

-Auto trim: Self explanatory.

-Passive missile Jamming: Missiles have a much harder time hitting you, I explained how it works in the pinned comment of this video, it also shows it in action.

-Adjustable AOA: Let's you tune your AOA while on the go.

Instructions

Mitsubishi F-3 Viper 1.0 manual

Take-off procedure:
Throttle over 70% & Flaps down
The plane will automatically take-off without any other inputs. Although it might need a lil help keeping straight on the runway.

Weapons
3 AIM-9X Sidewinders (I think...)
Countermeasures (technically not weapons but are still used in combat)

Instructions
AG1 = Turn off AOA limiter
AG2 = Canopy
AG3 = Master Arm
AG4 = None
AG5 = Adjustable AOA limiter
AG6 = Lights
AG7 = Drogue chute
AG8 = Manual controls

AfterBurner = 99% thrust
Trim = Trim
VTOL = Flaps
VTOL + AG5 = AOA adjustment (VTOL up for higher AOA, VTOL down for lower AOA)

Stuff to note

•Don't use flaps when landing, it makes the Ruddervators do weird things when at a certain altitude. I'll get around to fixing that... Eventually...

•The dragon on the engine nacelle was supposed to be white but I forgot to recolor the label before sending it over to Vero.

•I purposely kept it at 380 parts to prove that a full stealth fighter can be done at this part count. But I will admit that it was a good move to increase the part count to 900.

•This was supposed to come with another jet for the challenge but life caught up to me and there isn't enough time.

    Beautiful work - this can even land to the first place if it has a realistic take off and landing.

    Flight 6, Look 10 (full points), Cockpit 4 (great but hard to see the switches), Take off and Landing 4/10 (poor/unrealistic take off), special features 6, Bonus Points 3 - TOTAL 33 Points
