TheAstroNut's Manta Ray Drone Bomber LR

[TheAstronut]

This time i'm releasing an updated version of my Manta Ray Heavy drone bomber that uses the high altitude engines and intakes to enable it to carry a heavier payload. (somewhere between 3-6 large RCS tanks).

View of massive bomb bay:

View after major stall (stall-recovery paracute can be cut to resume flight):

Warning:

This craft is slightly slow on the pitch axis and nearly unresponsive in yaw.

Takes most or all of the runway to take off when fully loaded and engines are spooled up before releasing breaks.

Notes:

May be a bit difficult to land due to the rear landing gear being closer together than the front landing gear.

Some pictures are from a bugged version that had clipping issues with the fuel lines (it's fixed in the download)

There are now two versions available for download:

Manta Ray Drone Bomber LR (no payload):

Manta Ray Drone Bomber LR (with 5 mid-size bombs):
