This is the Warbird version of the Red Hawk that I posted a couple of days ago. HIGHEST PHYSICS SETTING REQUIRED. I am on mobile, I apologize for the format of these instructions. Buttons are as follows. #1 VTOL engines. #2 small jet engines. #3 #4 and #5 are for the rockets. #6 is to drop the bombs. For takeoff 1: throttle up 100%. 2: Set VTOL slider to the lower halfway mark. 3: hit action #2 and let the engines get to full burn. 4: hit action #1 and your plane will rise up. Hit #2 again and use the slider to adjust your vertical trim. Hit the skies. With both engines running it hits 1000+. This thing is pushing the limit of my mobile device. Let me know how it works out for you guys. Or if you have any recommendations or suggestions. Thanks everyone!

    @UglyBull Thank you very much. I thought that the multiple control surfaces looked cool too. The's Hawk planes were definitely a fun build. I'm glad that you enjoy it too. Thanks for checking my stuff out again man, I do appreciate it.

    The flapping wings and "feathers" on this make it look truly amazing. It had a nice, easy takeoff and was definitely creative. Again, I give a standing ovation to the moving "feathers" on this.

    @WalrusAircraft Thank you sir, this and the Red Hawk were my first clipped part designs. it also features a multi point moving shoulder using the rotators. I'd definitely like to hear your thoughts after you give them a fly.

    @Wakescar Ha ha, why thank you. There are bouts of frustration, rest assured. Your stylus works on your ipad? I have a note 3 which utilizes a stylus, but it doesn't work with simpleplanes. I'm a little jealous...

    Nope, I wish. I do all my stuff on an iPad with a stylus. Far better than mobile though. I've tried building things on my phone and it can be frustrating. You make it look easy.

    @Wakescar Thank you very much. Your kind words have definitely given me incentive. I shall try my best to impress you, Sir. You build some pretty incredible designs, I take it you are on PC? I'm stuck on android for the time being, so I'm somewhat limited.

    AMAZING i love this and the technique u used for the control but 2 things 1: try and get it to be self powered... no engines like the orthinopter or what ever 2: when pitching up it rolls slightly to one side

    @hypnotoad Excellent. I was worried about other mobile users not being able to run it. Thanks a lot for your time and your feedback.

    I'm also limited to a mobile mate and she was fine for me, tiny bit laggy but not so much I couldn't appreciate it. Did a good job on this one sir. Nice one

    @hypnotoad I'm glad that it worked for you. It runs a little too slow on my phone to be able to fine tune it as well as I wanted too. I think it's cool that it keeps it's agility pretty well regardless of speed. I wanted to put landing gear on it too, but there wasn't anywhere to put it that wouldn't have ruined the look. Thanks for checking it out man, I really appreciate it.

    She's a beauty. Well done sir. Can't believe you scaled it up so much and still managed to keep the fine control. Good job. Another classic in the making no doubt.

    Correction, this vehicles speed is 600+ mph. I had another version that did 1000+ but it was too squirrely.
