Auto Credit Based on SpiritusRaptor's USAF Century Fighters

My second attempt at the F-105, this time for the "century fighters" competition. Great handling and better looks than my previous attempt.

Group 1 and VTOL for gear
Groups 2-3 for missiles
Group 4 for drop tank

PS, don't play on low settings or the wings will break off...

    @maverickvii Yeah, my XF-108 is plagued with this issue (I think thats when we were talking about it). I've diagnosed it as an issue that happens when clipping wing pieces. For some reason clipping wings into other pieces at certain locations/angles on the plane causes what seems like incredible drag or weight gains. In my Rapier it was caused by the weapons bay doors. For your F-105 here, its caused by the vertical wings (the white ones) you stashed underneath the plane towards the rear. Remove those and she rolls just fine.

    @scriefers, I just noticed that this won't roll well on the runway (as we previously chatted about I think). Did you ever find a reason for that in your builds? Also, thank you for the missiles!
