Auto Credit Based on Homemade1's EF-18D Viper

Flight model is broken after the 1.10 patch due to scaled cockpit block, still flyable lol.

Hi

I'm so sorry.
I've made some mistake....

I left a bug in my Fly-by-wire system.
To be specific, the front gear is bugged lol.
So I fixed it.
Added air-brake.
And re-adjust weight distribution, now it becomes even more unstable!!!
For what? You may ask, I did it to do cobra more easily.

Controls:
-AG1: Deploy tail hook.
-AG3: Fold wings.(Folding wings while flying is not recommend, plane still flyable but less stable)
-AG8: Toggle angle of attack limiter.(It's on by default, disabling aoa limiter to gain more maneuverability but risk stalling, use this in short burst to get your nose on the target.)
-trim to trim

ENJOY!!!

    @MADWURST The previous one is more stable than this so it barely do cobra, but this version is less stable so it can do cobra at higher speed but unfortunately it will lost control if not careful.
