This is the Swedish Saab company's newest iteration of the famed JAS-39 Gripen (Griffon). Known as NG (Next Generation), this "6th generation" fighter entails a light weight, low operating cost, and quick in-air time. For my model: 1) Preferably keep the engine at 80% power. 2) The canards are controlled by the VTOL slider. They aid in takeoff and manouverability. 3) The weapons are fired one by one, and a gun is included on the left canard (as in real life). There is a cockpit view, however it is limited. The high fuel to low weight ratio is achieved by placing two fuel tanks in the same spot, and then XML modding one to have the amount of negative weight that the other has positive. Enjoy!
