My entry for the remaster challenge!

I’ve been wanting to remake my old RNP-90 just because I really liked the concept, but I saw the “remaster” challenge and thought, why no try?
Anyways,

History (new)

The F.T.R.C./RNP-90 was a twin jet engined VTOL craft, originally designed in 1989 as a slow, expensive, “easy” to fly civil aircraft. Interestingly enough, it was also able to takeoff and land by conventional means, although with the lack of flaps, it was hard. Once the R.N.P.A.F. announced interest in the project though, as they needed a new aircraft capable of VTOL, major modifications had to be made in order to meet the expectations of a military craft. Firstly, a prot. radar was added to the front, as well as two 20mm cannons, adding weight to the front of the craft. (Which turned out to be useless, because of weapon restrictions) Because of this, the LST/L (Low-Speed-Takeoff-Landing) was added in order to stabilize the aircraft during VTOL operations, as well as two extra horizontal stabilizers at the front. Due to its low speed (compared to other aircraft), it was decided the plane would need some way to go faster. Because of the unique wing shape it wouldn’t be easy to fit the latest engines, so an “emergency” engine was added, for a small boost in speed. The passenger seat was removed, and the landing gear was modified to withstand harder landings. Sadly, the plane only served for 2 years, as it was very outmatched, but, it is still in civilian use today.

Controls

Ag1- Turn on LST/L assist (use during VTOL takeoff and landing)
Ag6- activate FWD Extra engine (cuz why not)
Ag7- Open canopy

Takeoff instructions:

1.Activate LST/L
2.Throttle to 100%
3.Pitch up in order to stabilize the plane
4.Slowly move the VTOL slider up, applying more pitch (optional) to keep the engines facing down
5. At 80-100mph, put VTOL all the way up, turn off ag1, and f l y

No landing instructions but it’s easy, just use g y r o

(Also forgot to put these back in craft instructions while getting the successor to work, sorry)

Notes

• I forgot to make the LandingGear doors actually cover ALL the LandingGear, so there’s a really small gap there, and I’m too lazy to fix it

• The plane flies surprisingly well even without a gyro, which I had to use if my original build because I didn’t know what CoL meant lol

• I really liked how this turned out, and yes, I’m aware it’s 2x bigger that the original, that’s because I used blueprints to get the shape right, and I didn’t bother trying to get the “correct” size

• The LandingGear is so over complicated it took me half the build to make

Anyways,

Enjoy!
