My most complicated build yet...there goes the weekend. Leading and trailing edge flaps are tuned to actually affect your flight profile - try a landing with them deployed! I'll release pods/tanks/stores for this build later in the week when I've got more time.

Bonus: if anyone can tell me where the very slight left roll is coming from, I've got some upvotes for you! I spent an hour hunting for it to no avail.

Controls:

AG1: Afterburner
AG2 + VTOL: Fold wings up
AG3 + VTOL: Leading edge flaps down
AG4 + VTOL: Trailing edge flaps down
AG5 + VTOL: Trim up and down

    If this plane has custom made trims,and simpleplanes added trims,then there's 2x as much trim in this aircraft!
