For the challenge, fictional, and as per usual for me, a bit weird, experimental and minimalistic. Could have sworn I've seen the whole wing gunner nest design somewhere in real life, but can't seem to locate it. If you do let me know. Really wish there was a wood grain coloring/texture, as this should be classic wood and canvas material with only small amounts of metal.
AG 1: Turns on forward engines (twin counter rotating)
AG 2: Turns on rear facing engine. (on for better take off and some speed, off to conserve fuel for long flights).
VTOL: pans wings guns up and down.
Trim: normal airplane controls. (slider down for nose up, and slider up for nose down)
This aircraft is a bit nose heavy and does not have a rear wheel. To take off: taxi straight at full speed with trim down a bit to lift rear off ground, than trim and pull up for take off.
Trim up during flight to prevent nose diving, it'll become more stable once bombs are released and fuel is consumed.

The Italians did build some crazy machines back in WWII. If you weren't aware, check out their tans and planes. Although, they weren't the best for actual real life war, they many were works of art.
Where is the spaghetti bombs?
Thanks!
