Auto Credit Based on RAF1's (Closed) Challenge; Pedestal Fighters!
Fictional History
The FNX-58 was a test bed that made it into production for the pedestal aircraft concept. The aircraft was developed on Aulourian grounds and intended for multirole purposes. Initially, it was designed to manned by pilots, however new technologies has allow for AI to take over the controls.
The FNX-58 was also capable of doing air to air refueling. The FNX-58 also has a small weapons bay, however external weapons pod can be attached. Once these pods are detach, pylons will retract in order to maintain speed and stealth.

hi @ALRX

@DwiAngkasaAeronautics Thanks mate!

Are you going to release a manned version?

@TRD6932 This is an issue with the canard FT code that Im using, since I am not a FT expert, I am not sure on how to fix this. Hopefully I can find someone who can fix it when I upload my T-2 CCV
@ShootsPlanes @ReignSUPREME thanks!

At speeds upward 600mph, the control surfaces get all messed up and so is the flight stability.
Is this intended?
