Tips and Features
- Landing on carrier while carrying full of fuel and ammunition is dangerous, causing landing gear break. You have to lose enough weight before you land.
- At high AoA, the plane will start Fluttering.
- Can fly straight at high AoA of up to 30 degrees(High Alpha maneuver).
- When firing Interceptor, the missile will goes upwards at the initial boost stage for increase range. Like real mid-long range missiles does.
- Guardian has super maneuverability and off-boresight capability.
- Inferno is Guided bomb. But you have to aim properly because it has no thrust. Also you can use Bomb50 for unguided bombing.
- If you want more cleaner look and agility for dogfight capability, just erase the wing pylon parts.
- You can use WNP78's Refuel mod, just put the probe part on the black tip left of canopy.

the name reminds me of a novel written by Jose Rizal. "El Filibusterismo"
They just said let's take a jet from the cold war and mix it with the stealth fighter: you get this
Edit: sorry if I got the era wrong ;)

American Checkmate
F8 + SU 75 + F22 =
@TRD6932 Wdym trolling?
Im just dumb
@KDnotSpy Pretty sure that's not what he meant though
A filibuster is a political procedure in which a prolonged debate puts a presented legislation on hold, as to delay this and potentially waste everyone's time if you're feeling like trolling.
@KDnotSpy 1.8 yesrs later i agree, i thought this was a vtol thing of some sorts and was dissapointed back then
I like the El Filibusterismo reference
@ShootsPlanes A VTOL Stealth Corsair would be a crappy design
Sukhoi Checkmate? No, it's a Stealth Corsair
Is nice, i upvote. The only thing that i am dissapointed to know that its not a vtol
I have to admit I am very impressed with the design, but I find it very frustrating to fly since I'm always fighting with it to maintain flight attitude, is there something I'm missing? Description doesn't help.
Man I really hope that Intake doesn’t become popular
This looks like it would be great for post-stall maneuvering
Don’t use pitch above roughly 750 mph or the pitch control surface will start to flutter like in desc
Isn’t this looks like a Boeing X32 ?
Hue hue hue hue hue hue hue
This is really awesome!
I would like to purchase 30 for my RP faction.
@CRJ900Pilot sure use it
May I use some parts of this? Like the rotators for the gun doors and the weapon bay doors?
This aircarft made my day. Just only by it air intake
I like this a lot. I really appreciate the time and effort that went into this. Super cool wing tilt, and overall just a really sleek and well made plane. Good job.
Easily my favorite jet to fly now. Feels so much like a simulator flying this, and I love that. The amount of work you put into the flight characteristics really shines. Outstanding job, which has been the norm for you.
