MF-3-C Swanhead

7,203 Xogo  8.8 years ago

I felt the B variant was more of a step back than one forward, so I decided to build this one from the A variant. The addition of winglets seems to have a rather nice effect on lift, and general wing surface was increased, while roll rate was slightly decreased from the original, but ios slightly better than that of the Swanhead B, hopefully finding that perfect point between maneuverability and controllability. Rocket racks are still 1-3, with the drop tank on 4, however the detatch force has been decreased - enough that the rockets can now even be fired from the ground (Be careful about using them when rolling, though). Also gave it airbrakes, because it didn't have them for some reason.
