This jet is....something. I built the original jet (CF-1 Bobcat) out of boredom, and as I got even more bored I thought to myself....why not turn it into something inspired by Macross or Macross Do You Remember Love or Robotech The Macross Saga thing? Well, this is the result, there isn't any backstory to this one except its a 'bootleg' of the VF-1 Valkyrie. The controls also needs some getting used to when piloting it especially those for the Gerwalk (Guardian mode in Robotech).

Controls:
Jet mode:
Pitch-Pitch
Roll-Roll
Yaw-Yaw
Throttle-Throttle
FireGuns-Fire MG
AG1-Arm Missile
AG3-'Fold Wings'
AG5-Enter Gerwalk mode
AG6-Enter Batteroid mode
AG7-Opens cockpit
LandingGear-Landing gears

Gerwalk/Guardian mode:
Pitch-Accelerate/Decelerate/Reverse
Roll-Yaw
Yaw-Strafe
FireGuns-Fire micro SMG
AG1-Arm missile
AG2-Arm SMG
AG3-'Fold Wings'
AG5-Return to Jet mode
AG6-Enter Battleroid mode
AG7-Opens cockpit
VTOL-Gain/Drop Altitude
LandingGear-Tilts forward slightly/Landing angle

Battroid Mode:
Pitch-Move foward
Roll-Turn
FireGuns-Fire SMG
AG1-Arm Missile
AG2-Arm micro SMG
AG6-Revert to fighter mode (Gerwalk if AG5 is on)
VTOL-Upward boost/Hover (Keep the VTOL slider at the very bottom to 'walk' better)

Note
There are blank plates on the engines (legs) and blank roundels on the wings, so feel free to add in your custom text plates/decals and your roundel of choice on those spots.

To return to jet mode mid air, I'd recommend gaining some speed and altitude in Gerwalk/Guardian mode beforehand.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the flex is nothing to worry about....it shouldnt snap under normal use
