EASA XR-36 "Balisong" Drone

WARNING: You MUST use an AIR or WATER start
This is a fictional experimental aircraft made by the Erusean Air and Space Administration, except it's not actually made by them but I thought that it fit given the planes they're responsible for. This drone is extremely maneuverable in the pitch. Use camera 01 if you want a cockpit view.

I designed this drone around the idea of a military deploying these en-mass via airborne carrier craft. I initially based it off of the Northrop-Grumman X-47B but I wasn't satisfied with that. Also, it's pretty fun tossing this thing into dogfight mode and having it be AI controlled

    @Sutairs Nope, I named it that because of how, well, flippy it is. I likened it to a "butterfly" knife, more properly known as a balisong, as I'm sure you know. Also, thanks for the upvote @Madlycat
