This is it! The final version. Also, this is probably my best plane I've built. I've had a lot of fun building this.

Some History:

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a light single-engine multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by the Swedish aerospace company Saab. It was designed to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force. The Gripen has a delta wing and canard configuration with relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire flight controls. It is powered by the Volvo RM12, and has a top speed of Mach 2. Later aircraft are modified for NATO interoperability standards and to undertake air to air refuelling. In 1979, the Swedish government began development studies for an aircraft capable of fighter, attack and reconnaissance missions to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen. A new design from Saab was selected and developed as the JAS 39, first flying in 1988. Following two crashes during flight development and subsequent alterations to the aircraft's flight control software, the Gripen entered service with the Swedish Air Force in 1996. Upgraded variants, featuring more advanced avionics and adaptations for longer mission times, began entering service in 2003.

Controls:

AG1- Main On/off switch

AG2- Lights

AG3- Fire all weapons out at once (It only fires them if you activate AG5)

AG4- Afterburner

AG5- Enable weapons

AG6- Ejection Seat

AG7- Drop fuel tank

AG8- Turn off/on the gyro

Trim- Trim

I hope you enjoy! This is my best build so far, and I'm really proud of it.

    Same way you block them, I think. I never blocked anyone, so I'm not sure.
