A more aesthetically appealing post version of my Riptide. The original with activation groups is on my page if you're curious. This isn't my most detailed aircraft, but it is still questionably my favorite to fly. It is weighted well enought that it doesn't pull right or left if the load on the wings is asymmetrical, it has a low center of gravity for landings, and it's a pretty fast heavy fighter with plenty of room for weapons. Feel free to HMU with any questions or recommendations.

    Not detailed? Just look a one of my builds and re-think that. My builds barely hit 50 part so most the time lol @WacoTaco

    @BlackhattAircraft Thank you. Again, not my most detailed build, it's pretty simple, but I like flying this one. Thank goodness for that carrier update.

    Looks awesome! The rear gear looks a little awkward being so spread apart, but that’s more of just a nitpick from me. Awesome build!
