Auto Credit Based on TuckerAeronauticalLabs's Stratos mk.1c

So I got the Steam version of Simple Planes on PC, and I realized that the Stratos isn't really that great of a fighter, especially when you have physics set to full. So I did some modifications to the Stratos and now it's mainly used as a low level strike plane or a high altitude interceptor. At the moment, the one I uploaded is loaded up for low level strike. You can re-outfit it as an interceptor if you want to. Just take all the bombs off and put some missiles on. The airframe and some other parts of the plane are changed with the use of nudge controls on the PC, so in theory this version should be faster, but I'm not sure. Be careful, the amount of bombs on this thing makes the game lag a bit.

Credit to @Rohan for the modified guns. They're meant to replicate how the Mauser BK-27 revolver type cannon would operate.
