For Thorne's Egg Challenge, this is the "Egg-10 Sport-Hog."
Created on Android 10 while the wife watched some reality show nonsense on TV... 😅

Controls
-AG1 for Engines ON/OFF
-AG2 for all lights (beacon, strobes, navs).

Tips/ Info
-She has decent maneuverability (for an egg!) but be sure to keep coordinated with rudder.
-Suggest taking off with a large amount of horizontal stab trim, then gear up and level out trim as you gain speed.
-In keeping with the Close Air Support role of her inspiration (A-10, duh...) she is equipped with a good amount of rockets, a couple of AGMs, and of course, a large cannon up front!
-She also has air brakes if you need to slow a bit for targeting or landing.
-Not enough room under the chassis for typical gear setup, so she is a taildragger... Makes it a bit more interesting and "sporty."

This is my first upload... hope you enjoy!

    Someone definitely had to make an a-10 design, I don’t know why it works so well with the egg but it was a good choice lol. It flies well and looks pretty good, I’m glad your first upload was for my egg competition lol
