A hard hitting ground attack inline twin I came up with, with working flaps and cowl flaps, nice and stable platform that I’ve had heaps of fun with!
Controls are
VTOL: flaps and cowl flaps
2: nav lights
3: landing lights
4: release drop tanks,

Enjoy!

    Lol. It really does. And I'll try that with the tarantula. Thanks.

    Awesome thanks, all my aircraft can be quite a challenge to fly, I find the Tarantula hawk flys better in VTOL with the gyro turned on, but if you want to fly it like a normal plane I find it handles better with the engines tilted up slightly. I played with the yellow jacket’s design after I uploaded it and have changed a few things on it since then and found it handles better with flat bottom wings instead of the semi-symetrical ones that I uploaded, but in saying that, it is still no spitfire and still handles like a fully laden truck but with power steering :)@Umbralinsanity

    This is my new favorite plane. And I have had quite a large amount. I've noticed all your designs tip downwards so if you play with the trim it flies quite well. Compared to the other designs this flies like a dream ( flashes back to trying to fly the tarantula) . I also love how awesome those cannons are. Soo satisfying to strafe aircraft carriers with machine guns.
