Auto Credit Based on 42's The Hydra II “Nix”

Originally begun only as a comparison model to gauge flight characteristics of it's predecessor, the EX-15 (Hydra II) - Alpha Mod, it's been rearranged into a somewhat more conventional configuration and now demonstrates improved flight characteristics. The engines have been relocated to mid-wing to improve CG, Balance and Stability. Mid wing pylons shortened and moved to tail. Overall fuel capacity increased to improve range, engine power increased to compensate for increased weight. Added airbrakes, an extendable refuel boom (AG5), as well as an emergency deceleration tail chute (AG8 OFF)
