A Russian spy stole the plans from Columbiair for their new VTO & SL aircraft. This is that prototype. To release both guided bonbs, use AG1. For parachute, use AG2. Air to air missles (second type) are on group 3. Group 4 is hook. FOR BEST TAKE OFF: vtol bar just under centerat 25% power, once about 50ft up, raise bar to full at a decent rate, along with the throttle. I hope you all enjoy this. I sure had a great time building it.

Thanks for the feed back. I'll get working on it. I had been using the nozzles to turn a lot as well
Oh and also the angle the rear gear are at is a bit off
It looks goo and the overall shape and quality of how things are built is pretty good, but in terms of flying it isn’t great. It can’t hover properly (because of how the VTOL Nozzles are placed) and it’s turn radius is also huge, especially at lower speeds, for an aircraft which has a gun and air to air missiles. If you gave it larger control surfaces and an all moving horizontal stabiliser as an elevator, it will move much better! Lastly, you also might want to move the nozzles further as due to the aircrafts more unusual shape, the CoM is much more forward than normal and the CoT should be where the CoM is (only for VTOLs!). This sounds like a lot but they are mostly easier fixes to make. After looking at your other planes too I bet you could make a new version of this that works much better. Cool looking build overall though!
The question marks are where the Russian word for cougar was. (пума)
