FIAT G-12X (Fitional)

Auto Credit Based on poopatron71's Fixed Gear Fighter Challenge (FINISHED)

* MODEL *

Although inspired by the planes of the late '30s of the twentieth century it is a completely fancy realization.

There are all three-dimensional mobile surfaces working, including the aerodynamic brakes tailored to this model.

* COMMANDS *

There is no AG.

You only have the throttle, the control lever, the pedals, the brakes on the wheels, the aerodynamic brakes and the TRIM. And, obviously, a couple of machineguns. :D

VTOL DOWN = Aerodynamic brakes
B = Wheel brakes
TRIM = TRIM (to use everything down for takeoff and landing)

* THE FLIGHT *

It flies very well. It does not become as boring as those ultra realistic models, but not even madly maneuverable as some models (including mine) that would destroy the pilot with the brutal force G. Just keep an eye on the fuel, and do not ask too much to the engine that is not very powerful .

* TAKE OFF *

TRIM all down. Giving full throttle, wait for the plane to take off (it will do it alone) and gently bring the trim in the center.

* LANDING *

VTOL all down. TRIM all down. Align at controlled speed (beware, the model loses speed very quickly). On the track switch off the engine and glide until it touches the wheels. Muzzle up and brake the tires with B.

    @pilotred233 Yes, it's inspired from various italian planes from the late '30s, but I added an "X" to make sure that is not used from some plane. :)

    @Baldovino all of your challenges were. I think people want more details in builds like roundels, antena etc.

    @Trijets Simply put them very near. :D The bullet are magically applied some space "out" the muzle, so if you are near, the bullet appear over the prop.

    Or you set the machineguns "disableAircraftCollision=True"

    In this plane is the first case.
