Name: F-104 Starfighter ZELL (Zero-Length Launch)
Type: Replica
Attempt #: 3.1
Falkenwut Generation Build: 4

Part of my VTOL series, the F-104 Starfighter in ZELL (ZEro-Length Launch) Configuration. Not exactly VTOL I understand, but it KiNdA fits the deal... The fighter is carrying 4 fuel tanks and a nuke, intended as a retaliatory Nuke attacker.

This is my first creation dabbling into variables with help from ChatGPT. I still have no idea how it works.. so... it works???

Instructions for ZELL take off:
- Press 7 And wait for the rocket to power up
- Once the Rocket is burning, Put throttle to max and You will fly up.
- The rocket will stop & drop automatically.

VTOL - Flaps

Action buttons:
1 - Toggle Carrier Hook
2 - Release Drag Chute
3 - Jettison Extra Fuel tanks
7 - Toggle Rocket
