Not Another Arsenal Bird

Yes, it is based on the 'Arsenal Bird', but this is NOT that.

This happens when I hit a mental block working on other things. :p
Controls as per usual, AG1 starts the 'overboost' engine to provide extra power.
AG1 again will turn it off. Very useful if you run out of airspeed and need it back right now.
Under normal use it will increase airspeed by about 300mph and make the aircraft want to climb.
No major XML work on this, all engines are standard, except the 'overboost' engine and the size of the centre engine (1.5 height/width because it looks right).
Also the landing gear. Everything else is stock. Should work well as a high altitude bomber or similar.
No issues taking off from Wright Airport and I can't imagine there would be any at the other runways.
Pretty docile aircraft.

    @JediWolf Wanna bet? I've seen a few planes on here that don't have proper tails and they fly perfectly well.

    Just noticed the wingspan. It got that big.

    For once I did not really pay any attention to sizes and just 'built it' as it were.

    Was going to go far just a plain wing, but it was not stable and wanted to flip badly. Added the tails and it was fixed. Things you learn.

    Also, all of those engines sound really nice.
