I designed this plane off of a concept drawing I found off the internet of a hybrid F-16 platform for the gau-8 cannon (A-10 nose gun). I wanted to see if it would actually fly and was surprised to see that it works relatively well. Feel free to build upon it and repost it, just check out some of my other planes :)
