Wintermob Air Co. presents the WAC i1, our first Interceptor. Built as a 'Get someone there fast' fighter, this is a 'first responder', a plane that will be on the scene fast enough to hold the line until heavier firepower can arrive. Read the post for more info.
Edit: It's more of a "shoot and scoot". Read the post for a possible fix.

This was an effort to make a plane that looked a lot more like the craft it was based on, the Marauder Fighter from the Discovery Mod for the old space trading game "Freelancer".
The only thing it has in common is a similar shape, but that's about it.
It does fly nicely though.
EDIT: News Flash. Le sigh. I should have tested it in dogfight mode vs another aircraft before posting. Turns out it is a "shoot and scoot" fighter. The F15C literally flies rings around it.
I'm going to try and 'fix' that though.
2nd EDIT: Find and remove the Gyro, it is near the CoM. That improves things a bit. If it can survive the first pass vs the F15, it now stands a chance of killing it.
