                          ~THE LEVAITHAN~

The RU-6 "Leviathan" is a multirole VTOL jet that is primarily used by Rula’s navy. It boasts a large weapons payload with 11 hardpoints for carrying weapons and fuel tanks.

This version, which is the standard loadout used by Rula’s Navy, has

x28 GA-5 high explosive rockets
x3 GAR-2 air to ground missiles
x4 GRE-5 air to air missiles

And of course, a machine gun.

                                                             ~OWNERS MANUAL~

This plane can take off and land vertically, but then can also fly like a normal plane.
To take off vertically, don’t touch the VTOL slider, and just throttle up. The plane will then start hovering, and you can control it with the VTOL RCNs

To transition/takeoff to forward flight, first deactivate group 8, as the RCNs will then be disabled. Next, slide the VTOL slider down all the way, and then throttle up. You will then take off like a normal plane, and you can fly around in forward flight.

AG 1 drops fuel tanks
AG 2 drops weapons
AG 3, extends arresting hook
AG 8, deactivates RCNs

Hope you enjoy!

    @SleepyKitty Well... there are a couple of inconsistencies, But one thought came to mind... Screw these rules, if it fits into the concept, then it's good

    @yuysukablyat this is my second entry. I don't think it breaks any rules this time, right?
