LF-5-A Super Valkyrie

Today I hit 100 hours of play time in Simple Planes. I decided to kinda celebrate by resurrecting an old a plane. Say hello to the Super Valkyrie - a high manoeuverability light-fighter based off the LF-1-A Valkyrie - The first plane I shared, and the second working plane I made. This actually turned out a lot better than I expected - even the original, if rather slow, flew pretty well, though the weighting of the plane and wing surface type decisions made pretty much no sense. This s is powered by 3 turbo-jets (One hidden), armed with two miniguns and three rockets a wing (keys 1-3) and has far better flight characteristics than expected. The main wing is very similar to the old one, though it's connection points have been moved and it has had a bit of structural wing added between it and the fuselage. The horizontal stabiliser is a similar shape, but is larger and has a different wing surface type. The rudders were barely changed, and the main fuselage was only reweighted. Oh, and, of course, it has paint similar to my old white and blue liverly.
