Variable Geometry Testbed
A build I made ages ago to test just how much an aircraft's profile can change without it breaking.
Well, it turns out quite a bit. It has decent maneuverability, sub par speed, but two LC-01s (earlier laser cannon models) and two unnamed lasers.
It was originally designed as a narrative counter to superplanes I kept seeing in the MP mod, many of them faster and more agile than the F-44As I used at the time. So I was a bit too ambitious, going for something distinct. I suppose my UF-01 post could be a spiritual successor to this plane.
This is also my first build I ever made to use custom gear, and all my custom gear models are dirived from the ones on this plane.
I mean, hey! It comes with a nice paint job!

One of the AGs extends the wings. Can't remember which one...
