Kyushu Interceptor

38.1k Weaverfish  7.2 years ago

[Part of my scaled WW2 series - All aircraft built to scale, with accurate weights, speeds and flight characteristics to the original.]

Japan was losing the war. Incendiary raids from American bombers created devastation that could not be stopped by any current aircraft in its forces. The Kyushu was developed as a counter - a short range, highly armed interceptor that could takeoff and climb at a monstrous rate to tackle the high flying bombers.

INSTRUCTIONS - TAKEOFF - activate ACT1, then take VTOL to -75%, Takeoff is hard, you'll need to use roll to stabilise the aircraft, roll controls front wheels. Full trim up, full pitch up, full power. Good luck!

CRUISING - ACT1 to neutral, then deselect ACT1. Activate ACT2, take it to -95%, deselect ACT2. Reset trim.
