Lockheed Martin F-35 B Lightning II by SR

With the new gizmos and mods etc., I just had to revisit the F35, clearly my favourite jet fighter...

Activation 1 (linked to throttle) for landing gear up.
Activation 2 and VTOL slider down go into hover mode.
Activation 3 and VTOL down for bomb bay doors open.
Activation 4 to fire bomb bay missiles (maybe they are missile bays).
Activation 5 for new and improved wing mounted missiles.

For STOVL take off, Act 2 and VTOL slider not quite all the way down and around 13 to 16% throttle for best effect. When landing, VTOL slider all the way down and around 8% throttle.

For hovering there are no RCNs - just use the same thrust vectoring as in full flight during hover take-offs and landings, or just hover around the place at 80 to 160 mph.

Take-offs without STOVL activated is extreme. She launches directly 90 degrees up and one must keep the nose down during take off (or not, it doesn’t really matter). After initial launch she flies pretty much dead straight.

For performance enthusiasts, try a trench run at mach 1...

BTW, some long range fuel tanks provided - they will change the flight characteristics, so be warned! Activatioon 6 to jettison...

    Lol we just need you to build a skeleton BASICLY full of all the mechanicals I think I'm making the fuselage and jacobhardy64 might make wings and vikdesigns is probably going to make finishing touches@SpiritusRaptor

    @PlanesOfOld I am, but I am a bit of a perfectionist and it takes a 'longer' time to punch out the jets :)

    Btw do u fancy joining in with me and a few other golds in a co-op build to create the ultimate jet fighter, It has three variations FIGHTER FAST SUPER AGILITY STOL LIGHTER THAN ALL OTHERS @SpiritusRaptor NAVY HOVER TAKE OFF AND LANDING SUPER BRAKES TORPEDOES ECET GROUND ATTACK, A MINIGUN, GUIDED MISSILES, GUNSIGHT IN COCKPIT VEIW, HOVER,GUIDED BOMBS,A HUGE ARSENAL OF GROUND ATTACK WEAPONS! Just wondered if u would be interested in making the chassis/ base of the craft about 20 blocks long think on how you can put all the above into the craft to make it the ULTIMATE jet fighter also the silvers are making one too lol so it's a wee contest

    @SpiritusRaptor Lol I littearly just fixed the problem with the clever use of air brakes and two small fins! The plane is epic and pretty mutch finished might re upload with even more improvements :) I just watched trench run revisited lol I love this thing when it hovers btw should I create a kamcord account so I can show my planes and designs I'm working on?

    First up try reducing the size of the rear stabilizer control surface. If that doesn't do it then when I'm home I'll ping you and do a temp upload and I'll take a look at it.. @PlanesOfOld

    Hey I'm building a mig-25 at the moment since I'm acctualy running out of ideas and picking off my list to build! I have fitted her with two 10x power large jets modded wings missiles and other stuff like a cool air rake similar to the one on this but...... It has a severe stability problem every now and then when pulling rolls and tight turns it goes into a short spin u can recover by pulling brake but it's impossible to land too and goes into a spin at like 100mph and also rolls on the runway and explodes on takeoff it's hard to fly too! PLZ help what helps plane stability? Idk but u are probably the most knowledgable on making realistic jets :)
