A very good try! Reminds me a lot on how I used to make my earlier builds. It's a very smooth plane to fly and looks equally gorgeous.
What I'll point out is that the in-game plane parts are relatively small. You plane's measurements won't stack up unless you modify their size too. Also, the plane tends to swirv a lot of ground taxi and take-off. Happens to my tail-dragger planes too... not sure on how to fix that :/...
Non-the-less, very nice build, keep up the good work :)
I like the simplicity to it, and flies pretty smoothly!
For better realism, I suggest you fix up the following:
For trims, set the rotator input to "Pitch+Trim".
For flaps, Set the Control Surface to "clamp(VTOL,-1,0)"
Place the guns underneath the fusalage (as per the real thing)
Implement the airbrakes with slightly lower drag force.
@Liquidfox01 Yep, I originally wished to give my A-8 Aquan an engine similar to the Harrier 2 concept, but as I started modelling in, it starting resembling the P1216 model specifically..
@Ryan110 Feel free to do so :), would probably be a better gunship than the e-2 hawkeye (not that it's bad, just this plane would probably be more convincing)
@OPaiTaOn. I would suggest the following:
1 - TAKE YOUR TIME. More than upload the same plane every 2 steps, It would be more rewarding to submit when making major changes.
2 - Make your own wheels. This will look much better, and can help you with a smaller bottom-belly.
3- If you're gonna make a HUD or cockpit, I recommend going all the way. Passenger parts and all.
The following are personal ideas on how to make it look cooler:
4 - Scaling up to about 7m / 22ft long
5 - widen the wings about by an additional 1m / 3ft
6 - widen the tail exhaust part
7 - with regards to supports or weapon pylons, recommend you find real examples and try to replicate them.
8 - Maybe make your own weapons? A GBU bomb perhaps? Find some other people who made it already and put it in your design
The rest looks awesome as is... I like the overall shape! Good luck on your next update, looking forward ;)
Handles quite nicely and is a very smooth flyer! The VTOL makes the plane spin because one of sides is not inverted (happened to me many times). Keep up the good work!
Interesting design, handles pretty well, smooth flyer... Not a fan of the over-sized belly portion? (unless it was designed as a cargo hold of sorts)... Highly recommend you go all out on this plane! full on detail! (Did the same on a design of my own)
@Spangsege as per the description, it is a Model 985-30 Canard. One of the cancelled designs for the Airborne aircraft carrier project. Details in the description above.

STARSHIP TROOPERS!!! <3
+2@KnightOfRen Hell yeah it is!!
@EngineerOtaku noted, thank you
@EngineerOtaku Thanks for your input! Had this problem a few times or so in my previous models. Will take note on fixing it for future models :)
+1@MageMobius You can disable aircraft collisions, or set it up that you can't activate them till gears are up.

Awesome job!!! Knew this would be a fantastic addition to Simple planes once I saw the Mustard video :D
Gotta test this out soon! Looks awesome!!!

@DJ2keroni
Did 3 of them a while back, has a small similarity to the D Model rather than the F Model
Don't know if you're reffering to a different model altogether...
fun gunship!
+1@JED Looking forward to your update! Your bombs are the bombs.. padum tsh
@Oreo2005 thought i fixed it... thanks for letting me know!
Very nice take on this plane! keep it up!
To my knowledge, the bottom vertical stabiliser is retractable, akin to the mig-23 (hence its development)
Fantastic job!! Keep up the good work!!!
Very nice!! Liked the HUD! Keep up the good work!!
+1Ammazing!!!
@TitanIncorporated Agreed, This is my first time using the overload mod to expand the model. Need to rebuild this plane eventually...
I have requested this before myself! Would love to see this implemented!!

+1@DimitriIqbal91
Thank you. Haven't touched the game in a while, wanted to keep improving on this particular model once the glass-parts came out
Very original design!! Nice work!
@AerospaceGeek I can only suggest you re-download it and follow the instructions provided as much as possible.
@Spangsege all your mate. @ me when you complete it
@Spangsege as per the description, it is a Model 985-30 Canard. One of the cancelled designs for the Airborne aircraft carrier project. Details in the description above.
@Spangsege which?
@stevemc01 here you go
Interesting design! Bit of work needed on the overall 747, but other than that it was a very interesting model! Keep it up :)

@KnightOfRen Doesn't hurt to build it anyways!
I don't know, I'm sorry :(
@BnanaX Latest version i think. You may need to uninstall and re-install the game on your android device.
@KnightOfRen headsup that today is the deadline for the challenge.
looking good! Will build.it and rate it accordingly :)

@Dodgechallengers Usually when I dedicate myself to a single basic build, it only takes me about 2 to 3 hours.
A sophisticated build like this one took me about 2 days or so
