The Majestic A-10A 'Thunderbolt II'. All hail the mighty BRRRRRT!. This aircraft was built around the overpowered Gau-8 cannon, The cannon was the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. And there they stood, the engineers brainstormed until one of them got the brilliant idea. How can we make this huge weapon fly. And thats when they built the A-10 around the cannon and not the other way around.
The aircraft is kinda hard to lift-off but when you get it airborne it handles well. I seriously don't know why it wants to drag to the left from take-off, if you know please post it in the comments and i'll try to fix it.
It's built in a simple yet detailed way to match the default art of simpleplanes.
