New and improved light weapon testing platform


List of changes from the LAP-A

  • Custom landing gear
  • Fin-mounted guns
  • Slightly higher aspect ratio
  • Automatically retracting flaps

AG1 activates the auto-stabilizer. I am quite proud of this system, as it can hold a constant altitude with great precision.
