Designed in the style of a P-38 Lightning, The Firebolt is a twin-boom aircraft. The Wing mounted engine configuration allows for mounting guns directley on the nose of the craft, thus allowing for far greater accuracy at range due to the fact that gun convergance is no longer neccesary. Additionally, twin boom is a very stable yet nimble configuration, allowing pilots to keep the reticule exactly where they want it. Top speed in level flight APPRX 420 mph. Action Groups: 1 Engine 1 on/off, 2 Engine 2 on/off, 3 Arm gun 1, 4 Arm guns 2-3
