The Falcon Swept Wing Combat Fighter has been a tough project over the past few weeks. I ran into a lot of problems that had to be ironed out. I stayed with it though and Im finaly ready to share it. The Falcon is amazing to fly with and without her payload, spending a lot of time on weight distribution. This plane has an almost perfect lift to weight CG. This makes Falcon very nimble, while you’d assume such a CG wouldn’t be flyable. The Falcon will prove you wrong with a smile on your face. Ive built in two cock pits giving the pilot the option of using a busy HUD or not. Afterburners kick on at 90% bringing the top speed to around 1500 mph in the Swept back configuration. Stall speed is very low at around 80 mph with wings in the starting position. While Falcon’s payload is extensive Ive only done slight modifications on them, deciding that it’s a lot more fun that way. I hope you enjoy Falcon as much as I have. Please leave an upvote and comment if you do. Thanks! Quick Note that I forgot to add into builder notes. Extend the missiles before you use them lol.

@Powderheimer thanks! Appreciate it.
Underrated
@StarcrestUnited thanks a lot I really appreciate the advice. I had found a way to keep the missiles from protruding by using the magnet lol. The issue was having enough activate slots. So I had to pick and choose what to get rid of. I love the piston to fuselage, wish like hell I would have thought of that before spending hours on individual pistons. Again thanks for checking out my build and for the advice!
This is a really good aircraft to fly, thank you for recommending it to me! You have potential. My only issue with the aircraft is that when pulling an extreme turn, the missiles in the bay can protrude out and accidentally explode.
Speaking of which, there's a more part efficient way to have said missiles be stored, instead of mounting a piston to each individual missile, you could mount a piston to a flat fuselage, mount pylons onto it, and then mount missiles to make it more part efficient (which is important on mobile devices).
You're a really good builder already, I couldn't make this when I first started out. I'd also suggest exploring Funky Trees since you know how to XML edit (green afterburners)
@Hooha12 thanks, just flew your P38. Fun to fly, I bombed the carrier and unfortunately met my end lol.
This flies pretty neat! Love the coloured afterburner, flies very stable at medium and high speeds, maybe even low speeds. Very fun to fly!
