T-Bolt of the 12th Fighter Wing

The T-Bolt is an atmospheric aircraft with limited space capability; mainly going to and from a carrier in orbit. It has enough fuel to escape gravity, but go easy on the main thruster.

I intentionally built this compact so it will fit the most common hanger space (a 5x5 deck with a 2 high ceiling)
Because I built this to look a certain way, it is difficult to fly from the cockpit, so I place a gunnery camera on the right side.

Feel free to rearrange the camera and controls to your liking. Right now, the small forward atmospheric thrusters and main hydrogen thruster are linked under "auxiliary thrusters", so the thrust override is meant as a cruise control in atmosphere and a way to throttle as you head back into orbit.

Controls (as they are now):

[1]
1) atmospheric thrusters *on
2) aux thrust *increase override
3) aux thrust *decrease override
4) landing gear up/down
5) reverse thrust
6) gunnery camera
7) main hydrogen thruster *on
8) magnetic plates *detach and *autolock on/off (think of "8" as "p"
9) guns on

[2]
1) hydrogen thrusters *on
2) aux thrust *increase override
3) aux thrust *decrease override
4) landing gear up/down
5) reverse thrust
6) gunnery camera
7) main hydrogen thruster *on
8) magnetic plates *detach and *autolock on/off (think of "8" as "p"
9) canope open/close

Keep in mind, this was meant to be flown without reverse thrusters on. The reverse thrusters are for decelerating for landing.

I do not use connector blocks on my aircraft. To charge and fuel the aircraft, attach a service vehicle to the hinge part on the left side above the thruster. I have a couple service vehicles available, but you may want to come up with your own solition.
