Folland Gnat T.1 Red Arrows (CT)

Folland Gnat T.1

The original jet used by the RAF's Red Arrow Display team.

The Folland Gnat is a British compact swept-wing subsonic fighter aircraft that was developed and produced by Folland Aircraft. Envisioned as an affordable light fighter in contrast to the rising cost and size of typical combat aircraft, it was procured as a trainer aircraft for the Royal Air Force (RAF) as well as by export customers, who used the Gnat in both combat and training capacities.

Controls

Ag 1- open Canopy
Ag 2 - Deploy Brake Chute
Ag 3 - Lights

A last minute move abroad meant I rushed this build and unfortunately I don't have anymore time to work on it so it is released as is

The gear deploys in game, I ran out of time and patience to configure the gear and doors to close flush with the fuselage as they deploy at funny angles
