Introduction

Inspired from a combination of the Mig 25 Foxbat and the F111 Ardvark we have the RJ B-136 Medium bomber. Slightly larger than the F111 but much smaller than the TU-160 (for example), the B-136 can carry a complement of 6 AGM 86 cruise missiles in its internal rotary bomb bay and a combination of armaments or additional fuel on its 4no. external racks.

Controls

Please read this before flying it. The rotary bay is on AG2 and this turns it 180deg to the open possition and arms the first cruise missile, the bay is then further rotated and missiles armed by using AG3-7 IN ORDER i.e AG3 for the next missile then AG4 for the one after etc.

AG1 starts the engines
VTOL up deploys flaps
VTOL dn swings wings back
Full throttle when engines are on initiates the reheat
AG6 for Airbrakes (dont use when bombing or wings swept)
AG7 for dropping the external fuel tanks.

Information

I only saw this competition on Friday night so not much time hence not my usual full camo etc. but this is a nice working aircraft. If i had more time i would have spent it on a bit more decoration/camo and further tweaking of mechanisms such as the slight wobble the bomb bay gets from time to time. I did end up spending over an hour trying to get the wings to work again after SP randomly attached 1 part, oh and then it did the same with undercarriage doors, undercarriage legs and pretty much everything else that moved...

Oh and the missiles are not small, the aircraft is quite large, the cockpit should have been about 2/3rds the size but it looked really silly so i increased it in size in proportion with the aircraft, the pilots will have some more elbow room for a change.
