Tweaks, Improvements and optimizations throughout.

INFO: This is my second entry for the desert challenge The M.W. 430 Patrol fighter is a main-frame aircraft designed to destroy ground and sea targets alike. This is not really a fighter, but more of an attacker. It can fly against fighters, though. Enjoy, modifications below. Fixes at the bottom of desc.

MAX. SPEED: 430MPH (how about that eh?)

CHANGELOG:

-Flap size reduced by around 55% for more stability.
-Cut wings for better roll performance.
-Newer engine with slightly less torque.
-Replaced the dual WW20 (20mm) Mk.5 cannons with quad WW20 (20mm) Mk.9 cannons.
-Placed wings lower down the fuselage for better turning performance & stability
-Longer gear legs due to discovered high-speed stalls.
-Replaced middle intake with wing-mounted flexible intakes for less stress & weight on the fuselage.
-Back gear leg is now retractable for aerodynamic optimizations.
-Elevators and rudder redone for turning and stability optimizations.
-Redesigned cockpit.
-Paint job redone.

Have fun.
