Backstory

The year is 2031, people around the world are in horror as World War 3 rages on between the U.S.A, Russia, and Korea. To gain the upper hand in the battles, the U.S.A appointed a small, little known aviation company, Apex. Their task was to design and build an experimental fighter that could out maneuver and out fight any other. It took months but in the end, this is what they had accomplished.

Air Brakes (Brakes, duh XP)

Flight

All flight controls are default, throttle is thrust, pitch is pitch, roll is roll, yaw is yaw, VTOL adjust landing flaps (they don't do much),.

I would not recommend using yaw, it has the function but throws it extremely off balance in flight.

Landing

To land throttle down to 20-25% Throttle, the come in at a very calm angle, once on the ground deactivate throttle and hold brakes.
