Egg-10 Sport-hog V2 (Thorne's Egg Challenge)

180 RR184  4.4 years ago

Updated version of Egg-10 for "Thorne's Egg Challlenge"
Here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/zlbOvv/Egg-Challenge

Made it look a little more like an A-10 (reposition gun, add AGMs, and added nose gear).
Also slightly tweaked some flight characteristics

Controls
-AG1 for Engines ON/OFF
-AG2 for all lights (beacon, strobes, navs).

Tips/ Info
-She has decent maneuverability (for an egg!) but be sure to keep coordinated with rudder.
-Suggest taking off with a large amount of horizontal stab trim, then gear up and level out trim as you gain speed.
-In keeping with the Close Air Support role of her inspiration (A-10, duh...) she is equipped with a good amount of rockets, a couple of AGMs, and of course, a large cannon up front!
-She also has air brakes if you need to slow a bit for targeting or landing.
