Yeah sorry should have mentioned that in the instructions. You’ll have to throttle back and then deactivate AB as it’s another smuggled engine! My bad. Thanks mate! @ChiChiWerx
No need on naval variants as they pick up a wire with the arrestor hook or do a bolter instead. If you’ve missed all landing wires and try to TOGA it would somewhat hindered by a massive drag device trailing behind and would most likely lead to a loss of aircrew and airframe. Try lowering power on approach maybe? There is an air brake fitted and it will plop down on the Beasts off-set landing strip with the right approach speed and stop before the end of the deck (given the lack of landing wires I don’t think it’s too bad!) @Djorg708
Agreed! Supposed to have greater acceleration, greater range, faster climb to altitude and generally more fuel efficient although performance was limited at higher altitudes. During combined ops with the US variant they were observed at generally being “quicker off the deck”. And they didn’t have the smokey exhaust trail that was a give away even before the aircraft was in visual contact. Maybe they should have designed the F4 around the Spey instead! @RAF1
Just had a nice bimble around with and everything works great! I’m impressed at the rate your releasing these gems! And also taking the time to correct my builds (which I will look at shortly however I have the in laws around soon, sadly) thank you!
Thanks buddy! @RamboJutter I feel this is my best looking build yet. Flight has some issues such as slight autoroll and needs a little trim for level flight. Still, I think the RN variant is a pretty eye catching bird!
Really fantastic. Just had a potter around and it really is quite enjoyable to fly around in. Flaps are awesome, nice idea with the exhaust ports too. Cracking job!
Your too kind, good to hear from you again! What’s in the pipeline for yourself then, I really enjoyed your Saab - compliments the sabre and migs that you’ve done in the past too. @GhostHTX
Thank you once more! @ChiChiWerx I still thinks it’s a little too agile for realism and the speed at height a little unrealistic but it’s been sat around for a while now so thought I’d just roll with it!
Magic as ever old boy! Those crazy swedes certainly knew how to cobble a kite together - would be interesting to see how this compared against the mig and sabre.
All the more impressive for being done on iOS - there’s hope for us all! Very nice indeed, airspeeds a little slow at altitude but that’s me nit-picking to what’s a nice stable flyer!
Woah, this is not the proverbial turd I was mentioning! This is lovely once again! I was only mentioning the AI’s ability to outfly you (me and my limited abilities that is). I read this back after posting and didn’t want anything negative to be implied!
That’s a little bit strange, I was just looking at this aircraft this morning.....Hats off to you once more old boy! It’s uncanny how you recreate like for like on this and it can be run on my iPad! I take it the fury is on the back burner just now then? Never mind, lovely stuff!
Thank you @RamboJutter . This wouldn’t have happened without your help, advice and continued support! Cheers mate!

Thanks guys, glad you like her! @Mumpsy @yoshicraze and @WIZARD2017

+1Awesome! Do the “storm chaser” variant next!
+1Nice job, looks the business!
Thanks for spotlighting too! @RAF1

Many thanks to you all, glad you like this build! It’s been in progress on and off since winter!
@Razor3278 @MrDoolittle @BaconRoll and @BogdanX
Cheers buddy! @GhostHTX I had some frustration with the extending nose oleo it’s supposed to have. It did look splendid fully extended on the beast.
I share your pain. Mine tops out at around 400. Large scale builds slow my pad down too! Brilliant stuff once more! @GhostHTX
+1Looks awesome! Shame I can’t fly it but oh boy, you’ve put a great deal of effort into it!
+1Thank you! @aplayer

Cheers! @Carbonfox1
Thanks @ProcessedPlAnEs that was quick!
Beautiful as ever! Good ol’ British engineering at its finest!
Brilliant job! Works a treat!
Really fantastic. Just had a potter around and it really is quite enjoyable to fly around in. Flaps are awesome, nice idea with the exhaust ports too. Cracking job!
Stripes round it off nicely! Is that suez stripes or am I mistaken?
Really lovely job!
+1Gosh, what a head turner, especially in the FAA colours!
Maximise the market so to speak and do both! @RamboJutter
Bit of the Nelson class-esque about her, lovely stuff!
Lovely stuff once more! Got to ask how you manage the camo though. Smells like sourcery......
Very nice!
Lovely job, how did you get the afterburner plume like that? Looks awesome!
Or maybe the venerable Halifax? I thought your lanc was a cracking build! @GhostHTX
Your too kind, good to hear from you again! What’s in the pipeline for yourself then, I really enjoyed your Saab - compliments the sabre and migs that you’ve done in the past too. @GhostHTX
@MEERKAT978 @SarcasticCommander @SledDriver and @Mumpsy many thanks again guys!
+2@RamboJutter cheers again buddy! Working on a Yankee bird with a twist of the o’ Blighty about her.
Thank you once more! @ChiChiWerx I still thinks it’s a little too agile for realism and the speed at height a little unrealistic but it’s been sat around for a while now so thought I’d just roll with it!
@EternalDarkness @Razor3278 and @VerySaltySniper thanks guys! You’ll be happy to know I’m not doing anything else by Sydney Camm for a while at least!
+1Magic as ever old boy! Those crazy swedes certainly knew how to cobble a kite together - would be interesting to see how this compared against the mig and sabre.
Delicious. Can’t wait to see it! @RamboJutter
Beautiful job!
Beautiful looking build!
“STUKA!!...” lovely job!
+1I want this in WOW blitz. So badly.
+1Such a shame this aircraft never went into production. Supposed to have had excellent performance, I think you should do the spiteful next?!
All the more impressive for being done on iOS - there’s hope for us all! Very nice indeed, airspeeds a little slow at altitude but that’s me nit-picking to what’s a nice stable flyer!
Looks every bit the part, good stuff!
No worries, I was keen to try it out but time is against me, looks great though! @GhostHTX
Over 3k parts.....heck of a job!
Woah, this is not the proverbial turd I was mentioning! This is lovely once again! I was only mentioning the AI’s ability to outfly you (me and my limited abilities that is). I read this back after posting and didn’t want anything negative to be implied!
The AI is pretty fiendish. It seems it CAN polish a turd.....

This really is something special!
Glad the undercarriage worked
