Gnat
This has a familiar look, kind of like a Vampire jet, but it doesn't have the same sort of bite, so it's a Gnat.
It flies ok, seems to be virtually neutral hands off for some unknown reason, I certainly did not make it that way.
Will take off all by itself and then fly a few feet above the ground once you pull the gear up or that is what happens for me.
The computer hates this in a dogfight, has no idea what to do with it. Fails miserably against a Spitfire in a 'knife fight'.
The only real problem is that it loses a LOT of speed very rapidly when trying to loop, but regains it just as quickly when it returns to normal flight.
Literally thrown together in a couple of hours after work for something to do.
Controls as per usual, uses the big BFE300 Turbo Fan engine instead of the BFE150.
