It isn't as detailed as I'd wish it to be, but this is my F7U Cutlass, made for the 1st gen fighter contest.
Note that I have no clue how to limit the maximum G, but looking at the cornering speed of this plane, combined with the airspeed, I'm pretty sure this doesn't pull more G's than 7.5G.

Activation 1: Tailhook
Activation 7: Landing lights
Activation 8: All other lights

This F7U comes armed with two short range AA missiles and two Boom 25's. Also equiped with flares.

Landing goes best around 150mph and roughly 15% throttle.

Be aware that just like with the real F7U, the nose gear sticks out more than the main gear. So nose up about 6 degrees before touch-down.
