Admit it - you always wanted to fly a bloody missile! Well, now you can, with the Realism Series Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder!
The Sidewinder's pitch and yaw are extremely powerful, yet the missile's design extremely stable. This leads too very quick and sharp response from the control surfaces, making the Sidewinder truly a joy to fly!
However, watch out; its' roll control is extremely oversensitive. The Sidewinder in real life has mechanical ailerons operated by gyros to minimize roll, and is in no way intended to ever be used for actual rolling. Good luck!
Small note; the real AIM-9X only had 2.2 seconds of fuel. Consider my extra fuel time unhistorical, I did it because it was fun to fly a missile around for a minute or two

@Frenchyfry Try setting up a Dogfight scenario with it! It's pretty fun controlling the missile and trying to hit enemy planes.
You have made my dreams come true. Now I can fly a missile 10/10 would fly again
