This plane is the next step in my plane building path. I’ve dipped into a bit of basic coding with the Afterburner and ejoyed the process as much as the flying experience. I also spent a good amount of time in the cockpit trying to make everything functional and user friendly. Also using a HUD for the first time was both frustrating and rewarding. My goal with this plane was to make it very fast and stable while also a capable dog fighter. I didnt want to get into hinged wings or rotating stabilizers so I played around with the gyro and weight balance. After hours of trial and error I managed to find a sweet spot. The gyro allows you to control the light plane at very high speeds (4k+) while the light weight and balance makes it very maneuverable in a dog fight. I hope you enjoy my Red Devil creation and if you do please leave me an upvote. Thanks!

@TitanVector Thanks!
Wow!
@DanO317
You'll get it figured out lol
Best bet is using trim again for more gentle turns
@TheRLAF yeah for the most part but trying delicate turns at low altitude is a pain in butt for my fat fingers lol.
@DanO317
I'd say the gyro isn't necessary
The trim works pretty well
@TheRLAF thanks, took a lot of time to make it flyable at full afterburn. If you turn on the gyro you use the rudder for a controlled roll.
@Hooha12 thanks a lot, I really wanted something with labeled buttons and useable on a phone or using VR with a joy stick.
@Hooha12
Yeah, an impressive ass plane I gotta say
@TheRLAF still looks amazing, the cockpit interior is incredible. Some player with less than 1000 points actually build insanely nice and don't get upvotes, don't know why it works like that.
Good lord that's fast
This is amazing! Much better cockpit than I could ever make.
