After a few months of work, I think it's finally ready. My biggest project yet:
Description:
The F-21 Python is a multirole carrier-capable fighter jet aircraft developed for the US military in the 1990s. It carries an arsenal of multiple air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles along with a few bombs from the Mark 80 series. It also carries an M61A1 Vulcan gun, which became the standard for combat aircraft. Most importantly, it has three strikes ;)
Notes:
The Sidewinder missiles are not fire and forget, you have to hold your lock on while using them.
Please be careful when on the ground taxiing or using an aircraft catapult, if the plane pitches up too much while on the ground the missiles might hit the ground and explode.
Taxiing has directions reversed for whatever reason, I couldn't fix it.
Controls:
VTOL: Flaps
Trim: Trimming
AG1: Afterburner
AG2: All lights
AG3: Drop fuel tanks
AG4: Drop bombs
AG5: Arresting hook
AG6: Enable flares
AG7: Enable chaff

nice
im cool
@WaffleCakes Odd that its like that when the center of mass is literally behind the center of lift. But I think fighter jets are unstable so the pilots need to constantly make adjustments in flight
@LlamaIndustries Do it, I'll spotlight it ;)
Nice job dude, now I’m just worried about how well my aircraft will go over with the sp community lol
3 strikes
Honestly one thing that I find weird is how far back the landing gear is. Also I find this fairly nose heavy, it needs flaps and trims to keep it going up,
Noice
@Thelegitpilot13 My bad, should've tested some stuff more extensively
@TheKraken3 Basically.
@Thelegitpilot13 Ah, it starts acting like an airbrake?
@TheKraken3 As in it doesn’t actually work anymore as an airfoil, and can’t move the plane. For example, full up trim and full up pitch
@Thelegitpilot13 Cuts off airflow? Wdym?
@TheKraken3 It’s cool, and a blast to fly! Trim sometimes cuts off airflow, but honestly not too big of a problem.

what do you two think?
