I am proud to present my next aircraft in my Phoztek series and my submission to the Trainer Challenge: the T-3A "Magpie".

BACKSTORY:
It is the year 2039. The world is at brink of another war as tensions build between Te Allies--specifically the U.S.A.--and North Korea. The small country has proven to possess weapons and technology beyond what was possible for their advertised budget. As propaganda spread, many Allied countries received an influx of applications to their Air Forces. Australia, under the stress of hundreds of applications, desperately needed a cheap and effective trainer to get people flying.

The industry of Phoztek quickly stepped in and sold trainer blueprints to the country, acquiring a considerably large sum of money in the process. Exceeding Australia's Hawk 127 in cost and efficiency, the Magpie quickly became the standard fighter of the nation. The double-seat craft raised average pilot skill by 15%, and lowered total cost of aviation by 2%.

FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS:
Normal flight controls. Use trim as needed.
Top speed is 552 mph (During declination)
Cruise speed 500 mph.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:
During takeoff, the craft may point left or right on the runway. Using yaw controls manually helps fix this. (The craft performs well in air; no yaw problems there.)

Thank you!
