This is the TF-12 "Fire Ant", designed to be lightweight and flown in swarms. The aircraft has exactly 50 parts and has been tested in AI dogfights and races. Though it's not the fastest, the Fire Ant is very stable and quite agile in short range aerial combat. The aircraft is lightly armed with one minigun, two Guardian missiles, and eight flares as it's intended to be a slight challenge for other players.
AG1- Lights
VTOL- Flaps
Note to Gestour: Just name it the Fire Ant

@greasytortle Make as many as you want. The mod is capable of loading hundreds of planes into the game, and there are only 70 entries so far, so everything that flys well is going to be added.
@Gestour Thanks. This really was a challenge because getting 50 parts means I only had the shape to work with and not much on the details. Am I able to make a second plane for this contest or is it one per person?
Good job!
