@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)
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!
@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.

I will present the results soon with the detailed score outcome and will reward the winners accordingly. So Stay tuned ;)

@L3dg3ndary Thanks you for your assessment - I know it wasn't the best and I could have done far better - just enjoyed making something simple. Hope you liked it overall :)
@stevemc01 Checked on the issue, but all seems fine. - The microfighters become active once you activate the buttons 2 or 5 respectively, and will not shoot if these active groups are off.
I would suggest re-downloading it should it give you further trouble.
@stevemc01 you can remove the ai traffic to help you avoid this issue.
I have managed to dock it only 3 times. It is incredibly challenging as you have said. I did however make a challenge for people to try recording themselves as per the description of the plane. So far no takers...
@WarshipDude If you read the rules you will see that the challenge is still open.
Yes, You can make anything as long as its a vehicle in kit form. The Frame is optional. Adding a frame will add 10 points to your score..
I like the design for your first try of fuselage-wings. However I recommend you get into XML editting to give the plane a more fleshed-out look and give the plane a bit of better performance. Would like to see this plane rebuilt with a better look once you manage improve ;)
@EngineerOtaku noted, thank you
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...
@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!!!
Ammazing!!!
@TitanIncorporated Agreed, This is my first time using the overload mod to expand the model. Need to rebuild this plane eventually...
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!
@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
@Mefirawath if done properly, definitely
Glad to see someone actually try making this! Saw it on Mustard's youtube. By the way, 3 were built, but never utalized, so its not fictional.
@L3dg3ndary Thanks you for your assessment - I know it wasn't the best and I could have done far better - just enjoyed making something simple. Hope you liked it overall :)
great build! i will put it together as soon as I can and score your plane accordingly :D
It's a fantastic job mate!! Keep up the good work!!
I am happy that you have tried, and it's a shame it didn't work. Perhaps you can upload it as an unlisted plane for future trials?
@WarshipDude I really thank you for trying. I will still award you with 1 upvote :)

Not a fan of the super-fictional performance but I love the shape of this plane!!!
Reminds me of the Aurora aircraft
