FW300 D-9

Introduction

Well as the war moved on so did aircraft evolvement, gone is the desert camo as the war is now all about defending the German homeland and this requires a green splinter camoflauge.

RJ further improved the basic design, of the FW300, adding the booms allowed for a much shorter drive shaft for the pusher propellor which is also moved further forward which reduced prop strikes and added better balance. The addition of the 50mm cannon to the underside of the fuselage was of benefit for both anti-tank / anti-bomber rolls

Improvements to the anti-grav drive has also reduced the speed at which it now kicks in (110mph) and increased its efficiency thus improving performance overall.

Controls

Ag1 = start the engines. This also enables the anti-grav which kicks in once airspeed exceeds 120mph (for cooling purposes)
Ag7 = open/close cockpit
VTOL dn = flaps
LG = landing Gear
