This is the new and improved Expeller. This one includes some XML enhancements so it can function better. Higher than 550 mph speeds, lots of bombs and missiles, and 2 cannons that now can turn up and down. There are also custom landing gear in the front. These landing gear stay out so that you can still try and land if the servo breaks. AG1 is for the turrets, VTOL controls them, watch out for the rear wings and the front propellers. AG2 is for the Cannons, up and down on VTOL to make them go up and down. Hope you enjoy!

I started designing this plane based on some inspiration from the Italian Caproni ca.3, B-17 Flying Fortress, and the B-36D Peacemaker. It is supposed to be a medium-long range fighter/bomber/reconnaissance plane. The propellers add stability, the jets add speed, the wings make it act like a glider, and most importantly, the weapons give it lots of power. The real one would have a large interior like that of the B-17 or B-29. There are 2 cannons on the sides that are meant for ground support like an AC-130. The 2 front machine guns are for fighting like a large fighter plane, and the top and bottom turrets are for defense as well. The real one would also wield a large bomb bay with interchangeable "clips" for the bombs. These clips would allow different combinations of bombs (IE: 3 rows of 8 Boom 25s vs. 2 rows of 3 Boom 50s). The ends of the wings are large for the purpose of holding cruise missiles and extra external bombs, torpedoes, rockets, etcetera. Hope you enjoy!
