Abicarot Model A9

405 YeastBoi  5.1 years ago

The final evolution of the Model A series from Abicarot, The Model A9 was a short-medium range, inverted-gull winged turboprop fighter that saw action in the concluding months of the Second Continental War and into the next decade with the Southarman Air Force. It was the most maneuverable light fighter of its time and matched very evenly with its competitor, the LoRen-33 Osprey.

Note: going cockpit mode is not advisable on this aircraft because the large wrap-around pillar on the front face of the cockpit messes it up. Finding and removing this little greebly bit will make it work, and removing all the pillars will give you the best vision in cockpit mode.

8 - tail gear. Allows you to disable turning the tail gear so it doesn't flop around when you yaw mid-flight.

The A9 isn't really based off of any particular fighter, though originally it was the Model 13 before I made some changes to its tail and wings, added two more cannons, and added the little greebly bits. It's also my most maneuverable plane; from what I've seen, it can turn a full 360 degrees in 4-5 seconds.
