(Mixed Propulsion Entry) MP1F "Edelweiß"

Auto Credit Based on LieutenantSOT's Mixed-Propulsion Aircraft Challenge! [CLOSED]

I rushed this aircraft way too quickly, I admit it. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to create, but finally, here I can present you, my fighter!

This is intended as an Air superiority fighter, with customizable settings for elevator and wings, clearing the skies out with the four wing-mounted cannons and a 50mm cannon in the nose to deal with bombers and ground attackers. It has no bombs, no fancy rockets, just a lot of maneuverability!

The MP stands for "Mountain Project", as it was originally going to be Mountain-borne, catapulted from the ground with the aid of rockets. However, the design was taking too much time, so it has been scrapped. However, it still can be compacted. There are obvious bugs with the wires, and I couldn't fine-tune any details because of the deadline.

IT'S A VERY UNSTABLE AIRCRAFT, AS IT IS INTENDED TO OUTMANOUVER ANY PISTON-ENGINE AIRCRAFT . IT NEEDS PRACTICE AND SPEED TO PERFORM WELL.
