This specific AJ-2 Savage was a flying testbed for the AVCO-Lycoming 502 fanjet engine. It had a highly modified bomb bay, in which the fanjet was nestled. After takeoff, the bomb bay was opened and the fan jet was started and lowered. To do this, select groups 1 and 2, and pull the VTOL lever all the way down. The bomb bay will open and the engine will slowly start to lower. BE SURE NOT TO CLOSE THE BOMB BAY BEFORE THE ENGINE IS FULLY LOWERED. Once it is, deselect group 2 and push the VTOL lever back to its original opsition. The bomb bay will close with the engine outside of it, as it should be. Also, flaps are group 3. The paint job on the aircraft is based off of how the plane was painted during testing. Have fun flying this oddly specific creation!
