So, a quick explanation to why I made this.

I like, really suck with making good looking planes, even worse with replicas. So I decided that if I cant compete with looks, I will compete in functionality.

This plane looks terrible, but the amount of things it can do is impressive! Lets take a look...

Part 1, Flying, Takeoff and Landing
The SB-16 is an impressive bird! With a top speed of ~700 mph in level flight, and a turning radius to match some fighters, she is not one to mess with.

Landing is a bit of a challenge, as the landing gear can become brittle during high amounts of pressure. You want to land around 200-250 mph, try to touch down with your rear landing gear first.

Taking off also requires some skill, if you want to have a smooth takeoff, 50% throttle will do the trick, though 100% is not impossible.

The SB-16 is one of the largest VTOL aircraft ever, with an extremely high load capacity, gyroscopic-less stability control, and full rotation in pitch, roll, and yaw, its quite a sight to see one use the VTOL.

Part 2, Weaponry
The SB-16 has a decent arsenal, 6 PFC-MR-1s are mounted under the wing, 3 GH-1.5s and 2 GC-2s are inside the missile compartment, and 3 HEOC-1250-3s are inside the bunker buster compartment.

Part 3, Cockpit
While crude, the SB-16 cockpit has everything you need to know.

Here's a diagram of the cockpit.

As well as all the things you need to know, you get a nice HUD that is quite accurate.

Part 4, Other Functions

Here is a list of some things the SB-16 provides.

A winch and magnet, with high lifting capabilities.
An ejection seat, safety first.
Parachutes, do not use for landing.
VTOL nozzles, for roll, pitch, and yaw control.
The rear can open, do not use in flight.
Shell ejection for the PFC-MR-1s.
Custom landing gear.

Conclusion
As you can see, the SB-16 is an extremely safe, yet potent aircraft capable of filling multiple roles. Though you must remember, the SB-16 is high skill, high reward.

I hope you enjoy what I have created, and that it is up to standards of what can be "good".
