"T-7a ripoff" ~ Trinity
Introduction:
With the release of Cotheria from New Eastland reign, the Cotherian Navy and Airforce were looking for a new fighter aircraft to replace it's aging fleet of F-24s and F-23s. Along with the F-23 being developed in the late 1980s and being relatively outdated, it also was too large for the new Ambition Class carriers. With orders to design an aircraft to replace the F-23, Cotherian Aerospace engineers began to look at the T-1.
Developed as a private project rather than a joint project between Cotheria and New Eastland, the T-1 is a supersonic trainer aircraft that can be converted into the F-3 light fighter. With a smaller size than the F-24, faster top speed, and superior maneuverability to other Cotherian aircraft, the T-1/F-3 makes up the back bone of the Cotherian Airforce and serves as the Navy's primary fighter aircraft.

Final Notes:
With the recent upload of my A-2b a month ago, I thought it would be good to upload this one as well. The T-1 was made before the A-2b and was another one of my blueprint practices. It turned out well and with a little tweaking made an excellent plane. I am very happy with it and if I were to redo it I would add custom wings and a cockpit for it.
Thank you to all the testers and supporters who have given advice and criticism. Your insight has been very helpful and was what allowed me to squish all those little bugs. And as always, have a great day or not, the choice is yours.

@QuitePossiblyMangled Thanks a lot.
Sure @AC13OU
I have also changed the canopy
@QuitePossiblyMangled Yes, I have changed the intakes and I have enlarged the tail. Will that work?
As long as you follow reposting rules, such as significantly modifying the build so it isn’t just a slightly edited repost. @AC13OU
Hello! I was wondering if I could upload this as a T-7A, Is that okay? Let me know! I will also give credit to you Aswell.
@Walvis Im not gonna lie but I actually liked seeing the rotors. Don't know why but I just did lol.

I love the two tone paint job!!
In overload you can add "disableBaseMesh" under the 'JointRotator' tab of the rotator parts. If you set this to true you can make the rotors of the flying tail virtually invisable. :)
