SP-1 Owlet

A small fighter space plane intended as a parasitic escort to the SC-1 Owl corvette (which I may, or may not build. I'm not good with big things). On earth, it works like a regular plane, in space (if we actually had space and appropriate tech in this game) engines use oxidiser to function, and maneuvers are achieved via gyroscopes. Yaw stability is low, yet the plane still seems to refuse to flat spin. Pitching down and rolling causes some pretty weird behavior. The plane lacks actual landing gear, but wingtips are used to stabilise in the plane has to land or take off on land.
