Description
This is my recreation of Fritz x.
As far as I did the research this is the first operational Fritz x I think.
How to use:
- Install it on your vehicle
- Make sure to leave 5 blocks to the ground (fins extend)
How to guide:
- You can control pitch and yaw
- When no control input it levels off on its own (ignore the insane yaw instability)
- About 2km of range
- To guide it set the radio to channel 1111111110
Composite:
-Pitch 1
-Yaw 2
To install your own vehicle, use the bomb and the radio+controller from the pilot seat.
Optimal launch angle is about 40-60 degrees.
For some time after launch (5-7sec) the controlls might be unavalable.

Fritz X was the most common name for a German guided anti-ship glide bomb used during World War II. Fritz X was the world's first precision guided weapon deployed in combat[citation needed] and the first to sink a ship in combat.

Fritz X was a further development of the PC 1400 (Panzersprengbombe, Cylindrisch 1,400 kg) armour-piercing high-explosive bomb, itself bearing the nickname Fritz. It was a penetration weapon intended to be used against armored targets such as heavy cruisers and battleships. It was given a more aerodynamic nose, four stub wings, and a box shaped tail unit consisting of a roughly 12-sided annular set of fixed surfaces and a cruciform tail with thick surfaces within the annulus, which contained the Fritz X's aerodynamic controls. The Luftwaffe recognized the difficulty of hitting moving ships during the Spanish Civil War. Dipl. engineer Max Kramer, who worked at the Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt (DVL) had been experimenting since 1938 with remote-controlled free-falling 250 kg (550 lb) bombs and in 1939 fitted radio-controlled spoilers. In 1940, Ruhrstahl AG [de] was invited to join the development, since they already had experience in the development and production of unguided bombs.

Fritz X was guided by a Kehl-Strasbourg radio control link, which sent signals to the movable spoilers in the thick vertical and horizontal tail fin surfaces, within the annular tail fin structure. This control system was also used for the unarmored, rocket-boosted Henschel Hs 293 anti-ship ordnance, itself first deployed on 25 August 1943. The Straßburg receiver antenna installations on the Fritz X were aerodynamically integrated into the trailing edge of the annular surfaces of the tail fin, non-metallically encapsulated within a quartet of "bulged" sections in the trailing edge. This design feature of the FuG 230 Straßburg receiver installation is not entirely unlike the Azon (US contemporary guided bomb), which had its own receiving antennas placed in the quartet of diagonal struts bracing the fixed sections of its tail fins.

Minimum launch height was 4,000 m (13,000 ft) – although 5,500 m (18,000 ft) was preferred – and a range of 5 km (3.1 mi; 2.7 nmi) was necessary. As it was an MCLOS-guidance ordnance design, the operator had to keep the bomb in sight at all times (a tail flare was provided, as with the Azon, to assist the operator in tracking the weapon) and the control aircraft had to hold course, which made evading gunfire or fighters impossible. Approximately 1,400 examples, including trial models, were produced. (Wikipedia)

I also build a set of 1:1 HE177.

Have fun
DO NOT REUPLOADE WITH OUT MY PREMISSON!

I changed the electronics and now it kind of works.

Ok thank you.

You have to make a radio output on your plane on the same channel as the radio receiver on the bomb. Then you have to bind keys on a seat in the plane with
axes (up/down, left/right). I found out that the bomb was broken by an update, so I'm trying to solve the problem.

Can you please give a more clear et of instructions/parts for making this work?
