Ever wanted a fast multirole heavy fighter that can take out tanks? Well, look no more! RAE brings you the Vulture, equipped with 4x 20mm cannons and a 57mm anti-tank gun! Powered with two turboprop engines driving two 3 bladed propellers each, it can reach a top speed of around 380 mph, enough to outrun enemy fighters and intercept bombers. Also has lots of fuel so range is good.
Controls/Instructions:
AG1- 20mm cannons
AG2- 57mm cannon
VTOL down- flaps
- put flaps one notch down to make takeoffs easier.
- full flaps down on landing, don't hit brakes too hard or props will hit the ground.
- low speed handling is kinda bad, making landings a bit tricky.
- 57mm cannon has a fire rate of 1rps so time your shots properly.
Thanks for downloading and enjoy your flight!

@Razor3278 Actually she loved to corkscrew - it was keeping her on a good solid climbing turn that was the trick! lol I look back at almost all of my old designs though and think; Oh what rubbish! I have a couple of fighters you can't even take off with at full power or they'll nose over. lol
@DragonAerotech thanks for the kind words! I actually didn't notice the wingspan until I uploaded it. I guess that made doing corkscrew maneuvers were hard.
@Razor3278 She's a fun little thing to play with just don't try to dogfight with her as she likes to roll out of vertical axis loops. I think it might be attribute to her relatively short wingspan in relation to her length - not sure on that though. Love the design though. Far prettier than the ground attack planes I made last year! lol
@Razor3278 np
