Super maneuverability glider, inspired by the one I made irl. I attached a Rocket Assisted Takeoff module so you can takeoff and speed up, it is not an engine in SimplePlanes sense.

Control

AG1 to Fire up RAT module
AG2 to Jettison module
AG3 to Eject cockpit (idk why)

When jettisoning module, pull up to avoid collision.
In RAT mode, it tend to stall when you dive down and spin out of control. Easily recovered by pulling up to stabilize, you drop about 1000 ft.
The RAT can get you up to 190~200 kts
Stall speed is around 45 kts
