AG 1 and AG 2 Notes

I didn't quite get the auto circling working....like totally noobing Funky Trees. So expect to loose points on this. After activating AG 1 or AG 2 the plane banks and turns, and climbs a bit, so you'll have to monitor your Altitude, sorry about that. While activated, you can swing one of the gun turrets.

Fictional Background

The Desert Marten was developed way back in the 1990s for Canadian Air Force operations in the Africa and later the Middle East by a co-joint effort by Airbus and the JTF (Joint Task Force) arms division (fictional). While not a spectacular aircraft, it was cheap and easy to retrofit over the years for multiple roles.


Regardless of how I do in the contest, I always love these theme challenges and look forward to many awesome builds. I'd love some help with Funky Tree auto circling and funky side mounted auto guns (as none of my attempts worked at all).
