Kerbal Electric Lightning F.6


Recommended Posts

Shooting vertically up out of its airfield is the Kerbal Electric Lightning F.6, an interceptor designed to quickly reach Kerbiet bombers. Powered by two engines mounted one over the other (quite a unique configuration), this aeroplane will serve you well for all of your needs, be they peaceful or militarist.

This is my first decent aircraft replica, and it's not perfect. Its performance is a little lacking compared to the real Lightning, but she certainly is great fun to fly. I've never tried making a cockpit frame before, so any comments on that would be much appreciated. :) 

Spoiler

Action Groups:
1 - Toggle Afterburners
2 - Toggle Engine 2 (Upper)
3 - Toggle Engine 1 (Lower)
4 - Toggle Flaps
5 - Toggle Speed Brakes

9 - Toggle Ladder
0 - Cut Drag Chute

Flying Notes: Don't be overly hard on the stick. She's quite manoeuvrable, but you don't want to suddenly find yourself flying back to front.
Disable Engine 2 (Action Group 2) while taxiing for a more realistic taste, and have your throttle at the first small notch on the gauge.
Sometimes the flaps like to change which direction they want to deploy. Sorry about that, but you'll just have to invert their direction in-flight.

MOD LIST: Kerbal Foundries

If you want a version with guns and missiles, I'm afraid you'll have to add them yourself. I might make a BDArmoury version at some point, but no promises.

Quick update: Added the stock version. The stock landing gear doesn't look too nice, especially for this, which is why I used Kerbal Foundries Adjustable Landing Gear in the first place.

Update #2: KerbalX didn't seem to want to let me update the craft file to remove the single Making History part. The stock replacement I used doesn't look as nice anyway, so I've got the non-MH version as a separate download for all of you people who haven't got Making History. :)
