Backstory

It is the year 2027, and technology has been on the rise. Among the advancements is the aviation wonders of drones. This drone, the RL-33, produced by Boeing, on the 18th of August 2026, is the first of its kind. Featuring the aspired Red team logo, a Rolls Royce engine producing over 60,000 pounds of thrust, and inverted wing style for extra maneuverability. It was made as a short to medium ranged attack drone, helping the army in hard to get places and enemy air-force bases. Also featuring 2 Interceptor and 4 Guardian missiles, it has quite the arsonal for air-to-air combat.

Flight

To fly this plane, it is like any other plane. All flight controls are default, VTOL down for landing flaps.

Landing

I recommend around 10% throttle and adjust the Landing flaps as needed, once on the ground cut throttle and brake to a stop. Landing is a little tricky, due to the fact of a thin wheel base, just be careful, and not too aggressive.

Enjoy
