Auto Credit Based on Bob06's F-14 Tomcat III
Im a big fat liar. I updated this bird again. The entire surface of the horizontal stabs now act as pitch and roll. The increase in maneuverability is much greater. I added a small trim tab to the stabs but may need to tweaked to get any significant effect. However, the trim tabs do still act as a pitch surface so if you do tweak it prepare for slight instability in the pitch. Still trying to figure out how to clean up the intakes and make it look better. As always, have fun and enjoy!

@EternalDarkness lol. I'm not bashing those who edit. I just like using what's given. I may try editing one day. Yeah I know about the Roman numeral. I added the I as a quick save and just forgot to change it. Oops.
Oooooooooh. Pretty! (As in could kill me in half a second pretty)
@Bob06 trim is like flaps on horizontal (in this case) control surfaces. As for not being "big into modifying parts", that reminds me of the biggest drama queen of the site, General-I-Dont-Xml-360. Xml editing isn't hard. And one more thing. Four in Latin numbers is written like lV, not llll.
@EternalDarkness okay. I'll try the structural wings on the stabs. What's the point in the trim option in the settings of the wings? I did use double rotators but only to get the pitch roll effect. I'm not big into modifying parts as I like to try to keep within the limitations of the game. I'll definitely look into building better ones.
I would suggest using structural wings for horizontal stabilizers. You can have trim on such configuration by putting a double set of rotators. Put one rotator on the other, and assign one to pitch and the other to trim. For intakes, simply use scaled up standard intakes or make custom hollow ones and put standard ones inside them.
@EternalDarkness Let me know how it handles compared to the previous. Id like to hear some feedback on what I could do to improve the plane.
