Here it is! A flying replica of the B-Wing Heavy Assualt Starfighter! Much credit to Rugpeersdude, who made this fly [i recomend his builds, they're great!], and baconaircraft for his gyro stabilization pod. Huge thanks to them both. The ship features realistic details, such as a gyroscopic rotating cockpit, moving S-foils and realistic quad markings. To fly: turn VTOL all the way up [if taking off from the ground let the ship lean back a bit before doing this. Press action 7 and trim to move the S-foils, be warned the ship cannot fly like this though. All other controls are normal. About the B-Wing: The A/SF-01 B-wing starfighter, affectionately referred to as the B-wing or Blade Wing, was a heavily armed Rebel Alliance single-pilot starfighter and bomber manufactured by Slayn & Korpil. The B-wing saw action during the Galactic Civil War and was subsequently substituted by the B-wing Mark II. The A/SF-01 B-wing starfighter, manufactured by Slayn & Korpil, was 16.9 meters long. The B-wing was a relatively poor dogfighter, but it was primarily designed as a "blockade buster" to attack and destroy large capital ships. As such, it was equipped with weaponry and systems normally reserved for much larger craft.

The primary airfoil took up the length of the hull, with the cylindrical cockpit at one end and a weapons pod at the other end, and an engine cluster in between. Two S-foils just below the engine on either side of the main airfoil could be extended to deploy twin laser cannons. It held a total of four laser cannons, and was also armed with proton torpedoes and ion cannons. The B-wing also had a unique gyroscopic control system that could keep the rotating cockpit module level with a horizon no matter how the body of the craft was positioned. The starfighter was equipped with a hyperdrive and had four engines.
