this is the werdon ba-978 for the bomber challenge

Before I begin I want to give a shout out to my buddy, acepilot109, for his help with some systems, and for alot of stuff I probably never would have added. big thanks to him now on to the description

history

The werdon ba-978 is a large bomber, designed for the Checkered republic during there conflict with their neighbors, the wengalon's. The bomber was used extensively, and was their main bomber for over 15 years until the creation of the jet came to their country. A total of 23,500 were made, with only 12,151 shot down. The bomber was quiet fast, reaching speeds of around 400mph. Its bomb load was well stocked, with 16 total 250lb bombs. The crew consisted of 2 gunners, 1 navigator/radio man, 1 pilot, and one co pilot.

Builders note: really doesn't need trim, like I said before it's best to fly straight and level when dropping bombs, the pitch is a bit much, and high altitude bombing is alot of fun to do, i was going to take a screenshot of me doing high altitude bombing but I completely forgot, but it was pretty cool to watch.

thanks to those who upvote, comment, and follow

    The likelyhood of the bombs actually exploding if your not level is very slim but it can happen. Just be careful.

    @NavalGunnery hey sometimes the simple things are the best things. It works very well and flys very wack, pitch is way more than it should be but i liked it because it was unconventional.
