I tried a slightly different build method with this one and it worked out OK.

Fully visible engines from both ends, due to hand building intakes for the engines.

Fast and reasonably stable.
Will take off on a minimum of power, but I'm not saying how little. You will need a lot of trim to get off the ground.

Seems to have a fairly short take off/landing roll.

Flies down at low speed, the faster you go, the more it wants to fly up.

The usual XML stuff, wings, cockpit, fuel cell.

There should be enough fuel to fly from the Arctic Base all the way to the Pyramids.
You might have to glide the last little bit though.

Weapons load out is;
2 x Cleavers
6 x Inferno
2 x Guardian
2 x Interceptor
6 x Heavy Machine Gun.

Not really designed as a multi-role, but it is fairly capable.

Controls as per usual.
