PM-XVII

Auto Credit Based on Xeurith's PM-XVII

Well, it may of taken 7 different versions of this to finally get it right, but here it is, the PM-XVII. The PM-XVII is a fictional propeller fighter/fighter-bomber, inspired by popular planes of the Second World War, like the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and the Supermarine Spitfire. It is armed with 4 machine guns and 2 autocannons. It also has 5 hardpoints to mount weapons, as well as 2 auxiliary drop tanks. The hardpoints are pre-armed with bombs.

AG1 - Release drop tanks

I also added a feature not present on real planes, but it helps stabilize the
PM-XVII during flight. Trim to move secondary horizontal stabilizers (clipped into your normal stabilizers).

Only use trim when your payload still remains, if you've already dropped your payload, don't use it.

That was quite complicated, especially because I'm bad at explaining, but Trim up helps balance out the plane.

Once trim is up 1 slot, continue to fly the plane normally.

If the trim feature is causing your plane to pitch upwards, continue to fly without it.

Here are some cinematic shots of the plane:
