EASA X-02 Wyvern

Auto Credit Based on RedFox65's ACE COMBAT CHALLENGE!!!!!!!! (CLOSED)

This is my incarnation of the X-02 Wyvern from the Ace Combat series. It is done for a contest which this should be the successor of.
THe X-02 Wyvern is an experimental superfighter developed by the EASA. It made it's first appearance in Ace Combat 4 and has become a somewhat iconic plane since. This is one of the first planes in the franchise to have a variant, the X-02S Strike Wyvern.

This build features a ton of Funky Trees sorcery to get the wings to retract and unfold at the right speed. Feel free to use as you wish.
This plane has an armament of 4 "Standard" Missiles, and 2 "QAAM"s. THe reason why I decided to include 4 STDMs was to simulate them being a lot more quantitative than special weapons.
This plane CAN Post-Stall Maneuver! Really any speed below 250 mph TAS is valid for this, but it kind of takes some getting used to. However, the thrust vectoring is 3D, so you will have total control of the plane in a stall.
Be gentile with the pitch at low speeds because at those speeds the thrust vectoring has more authority than the actual surfaces themselves.
THe paint was inspired slightly by Gault team's paint, with the jagged lines crossing the plane. It even has a Belkan roundel!
The landing gear is custom and very fragile. You cant do an AC landing.

I poured my entire passion for Ace Combat into this build, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

    @RedFox65 It flies decently. take care at low speeds though. It has a tendency to do rapid unplanned PSM.
