it is only equipped with 75% fuel, if you wish to change the amount of fuel you can XML the large red fuel tank inside the CoM to your desired fuel level (up to 2,700L)

this plane features auto flaps, AG7 to engage, now you don't have to worry about sliding the VTOL slider a bunch!

the 2x AIM-9P mounted on the outer wing rails are quite effective though not the easiest missile to use.

    Looks great! Performs a bit weird for me tho. It likes to wobble for me =/ Combine this with its tiny lock-on radius then you'll have a rather ineffective fighter
