Bomber Plane "White Swan" (C-7)

[Bananaft]

I've played around, trying to make smaller possible plane, that can carry solid booster as a bomb, drop it, and continue the flight.

So here is my best result, named after Tupolev Tu-160 strategic bomber.

It's a bit hard to control without GamePad or Joystick, because rolling rough cause bomb to wobble, and swing whole plane. And without the bomb, appears, that ailerons

is too large for plane that light. But anyway, I hope you will enjoy it.

Without the bomb plane can fly straight horizontally by oneself. You only need to adjust thrust precisely. Because engines a bit lower, than center of mass, thrust will compensate stalling.

You probably thought, that solid booster can be launched as air-to ground missile? Well, I tried, it hits the plane :-\.

If you move the solid booster backward a little bit, it won't turn as much.

Very nice. That's the first working model I've seen with underbelly thrusters. Good job!

Seems like so, but still spins like mad. Theoretically, it should be ignited second after detaching. I don't know, if it possible to make with mods.

Cool! Thank you for feedback and great modpack!

umm....

When I launched it, it just boosted into the launch tower. When I pull it back so it doesn't, it flips then destroys itself.
