GUNS NOT INCLUDED, I recommend the BDAC and Kerbalfield weapon mods that were used in the demonstration video.

-The iconic screaming dive bomber built by Germany in WWII. Unfortunately I don’t think a Jericho Trumpets mod exists. The actual aircraft was much slower than I thought at apx 210 mph (level flight). Appropriately this aircraft only tops out around 90-100 m/s. I did manage to replicate a 500lb bomb complete with the swing arm which kicked the bomb outside the real aircraft’s propeller arc.

For normal control schemes throttle controls engine torque, I/K controls propeller pitch. AG 5 drops the bomb, as well as extends/retracts the swing arm.

-As with all single engine propeller aircraft, torque is an issue on takeoff. Set the propeller to 22 degrees and throttle up to 1/3 power. It will take off around 35 m/s, is very floaty yet forgiving once you get a bit of altitude. Max recommended propeller pitch is only about 27 degrees, increase it very gradually as you speed up.

-Color provided by Texture Unlimited: Recolor Depot.
