| The Concept II is a recreational
sport aircraft with a swept wing planform with outboard vertical tails
and forward mounted canards. It was originally created alongside the ARX-1
early in 2000 with BAO's Flight Shop (Aircraft Factory 5) and designed
for FS2000. Although the ARX-1 and ARX-2 were both created at the same
time, the ARX-2 first flew 3 months after the ARX-1 and was released 1
month after the ARX-1.
It has a mid-mounted engine
located right at the center of gravity (CG) and uses a drivetrain mechanism
(similar to the P-39 Aircobra) to spin the rear-mounted push prop.
The drivetrain system is rare in fixed wing general aviation applications,
and not much more common among military fixed wing aircraft either.
However it is widely used on rotary wing aircraft.

Designer's Comments:
The Concept II is the actually third concept
plane I created with the intent to release. The true first concept is the
Raptor, but for some reason I couldnt see it being the first release so
I filled in the gaps with the ARX-1 and ARX-2. Both models of the
ARX-1 as well as the ARX-2 were created side by side at the same time.
Notes:
-
As with the ARX-1, there are plans to update the
ARX-2 at some point in the future. No new models are planned as of now
and no dates are in mind, however.
