ES-48 Mimic SC-1
Made at the request of @Squirrel for him and to say thanks for doing a great job at keeping this site clean and happy and functional. Also @Squirrel, you've helped me individually a lot so thanks for that as well. I'll give controls in a minute. Trust me, you'll want to see them to unlock the cool features.

INSTRUCTIONS-
-Act. 1 is used to turn on Attack Mode with VTOL down. It works just as well with VTOL up but you can't launch missiles without exploding.
-Act. 7 is used to unload all missiles.
Act. 8 toggles the main engines (I think).

NOTES-
-Don't fire guns with Act. 1 on and without the VTOL completely up or down. Have fun!

Thanks @zed
@GluonicGaming Okay.
@SteadfastContracting hmm ok
Could you tag. Me on it again? @SteadfastContracting
Thanks @redbear89
@GluonicGaming Okay. Well when you're done with it let me know because there is one other person who wants to work on it.
@JovianPat I can try that next time, but I personally don't think that's it.
@SteadfastContracting Maybe don't use rotators for flaps. Use regular control surfaces instead.
No I legitimately do want to work on it @SteadfastContracting
@GluonicGaming It's fine, I've just been waiting for you to say you're done with your part. If you don't feel like working on it and/or you want to drop out of it then just say. It really won't hurt any feelings.
No sorry, i assumed you got it done without me, if you want, i can start working on it gain @SteadfastContracting
Thanks @GluonicGaming
Are you perhaps still working on that collab jet?
@TheRubricPage Np!
@SteadfastContracting
thank you! this helps me very much!
Thanks @SimpleTechAndResearch
@JovianPat Yeah, sorry about that. Not sure what to do about it.
Really cool design! Maneuverability is pretty good, but it kinda wobbles on low speeds.
@SteadfastContracting welcome
Thanks guys

@TheRubricPage Make the PYLONS connected to an Act.
This is AWESOME! How did you launch all the missiles at once?
@Squirrel It was the same for me. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it.
@SteadfastContracting I tried both, personally preferred the VTOL down, but its good that you can adjust it to whatever your preference is!
@Squirrel I'm very glad you like it. The bullet spray is purposeful too. I also scaled the exhaust by XML Editing. Try just Act.1 with the VTOL bar in the middle. I believe it is more agile. Just don't forget to not shoot the guns. (bad grammar, I know)
Did you try it with the VTOL bar up or down? They both work and give slightly different flight effects.
@SteadfastContracting I thought this was a mediocre plane first. Handling was okay, but a bit sluggish and a bit bouncy... But holy cow, that changed after the activator 1 and the VTOL down. The flight was smooth, the speed was fast and that exhaust plume when you activate the engines is very satisfying, and them guns... bullets everywhere :D
A great and pleasantly surprising build. 10/10 would fly again.
