This is my newest plane with a cool feature: guided turret which is self stabilizing, no gyros, and locks onto the target position. I have used the golden ratio to find the muzzle velocities of the turret to maximize target hit probability. This can be mounted to any plane without any modification. I hope someone could figure out how to make a lead predictor, but there are not enough funky trees imputs to do that yet. It would require relative target velocities as an input.
