"Harrower"
Meet the terrifying flying wing of Fairly Simple Fighters, the A2R5.
The flying wing of death
Started life as a mere experiment. You'll learn for what experiment soon enough. He looked different, too. However, the design was so viable that I decided to give it an aesthetic upgrade, as well as improve his armament. Now you have to deal with this guy.
Despite being an experimental design, he is very fast, very agile, and even very-er dangerous. Missiles, armor, and mass AOE (Aera of Effect) weapons will probably work against him, but that's cheating since he's technically a first-gen fighter. He can be beaten in a head-on fight, maybe a race too if you've got the right fighter, but in a turn-fight he's nearly insurmountable. Will you stand against the Harrower, or end up another number proving how he got his name?
Trivia
-The Harrower just falls short of being the first FSF aircraft, only being robbed of its title due to none of the original models initially not having the tag (although I did give it the FSF tag after it was underway). Simultaneously, though, the Harrower was the inspiration for FSF, so he still gets credit where credit was due.
-The A2R5's first opponent was a Typhoon with flare guns. You'll understand everything soon enough...
-Although (almost unsurprisingly) bearing resemblance to all flying wings, the Harrower specifically draws inspiration from the Northrop N9M.

@TheUltimatePlaneLover ah
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Allow me to explain:
This plane was an important test fighter used AGAINST the flaregun plane (which I have yet to upload).
I was experimenting to see if wing pieces were immune to flares, but I can't confirm because it overperformed and was nearly impossible to hit. Well, the original version of it anyways. The original version was pretty unrefined, so I rebuilt the "fuselage" and made this thing.
I will post the actual flareshooter in unlisted soon though.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover I'm confused, what is this about flares, there are none on him, and I thought you were making a flare weapon
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26
Here he is. I'm actually not sure if he's flareproof or not because he pitches like crazy. His roll is absolutely dreadful though. Do note the FSF tag though, there will be more.
