Pocket Rocket Juno Village Racer

Packet Rocket Racer

She’s a good “career game friendly’ racing jet for the “Village Air Races”, and can be crewed by one droonaut. She requires the techs “Getting Comfy” & “OP Leaf Blower” (also “Touching the Sky” tech for the wing flaps). I managed to complete the last Village Air Race (5 minute time limit) with at least 20 seconds to spare!

For Flying: She tends to be a nose diver, so before takeoff trim her down a tad by setting the pitch slider around -24%. It’ll make a noticeable difference in how much you have to fight the pitch while fling at speed. Activation Group 1 turns the engine on and slider 1 controls the flap settings.

For Landing: to get a nice slow landing (65-75 meters per second) into Juno Village runway, reduce thrust to around 4% with flaps down (slider 1 position -75% is prolly all you’ll need). Just as you cross the runway cut all thrust and you may still have to nose her down a bit as she tends to want to pitch up with the flaps extended to -75% but with a bit of practice you should be able to set her down easily and get stopped with the brakes.
