Flight Instructions:
Conventional flight control layout. Optimal landing speed ranges between 300 kph to 220 kph. At sea level, top speed is 1050 kph. The aircraft is designed to sustain very high AoAs and lose a lot of speed, so be gentle with the controls. Mouse and keyboard users may benefit from going into mouse joystick mode. All controls in the cockpit are labeled. AG1: Canopy AG2: Flaps + Arresting hook AG3: Fold wings AG4: + 8.1km radar range AG5: + 12.15 km radar range AG6: Jettison missiles AG7: Toggle IR/PD radar mode (non-functional) AG8: Toggle leading edge slats.

Backstory:
Although developed in tandem with the AA-2, the AA-3 did not aim for cutting edge technology, or record-setting performance. Instead, the AA-3 was meant to be a stop-gap carrier operable fighter for the recently established Avalonian Navy. Yet, its adversaries should not be fooled by its relatively petite built. The AA-3 trades in speed and range for incredible agility and near-stall performance, enough to rival the Kronen thrust vectoring drones. On top of which, the small size makes the AA-3 an extremely economical fighter compared to the AA-2, making it an excellent aircraft for its purpose.

Hello! It's me again. When I started this project, I did not really have a direction of what I wanted to achieve. I've realized that my past builds have all been more or less a bit ridiculous in terms of performance, with thrust vectoring, and a 5 to 1 T:W ratio and all that. So I thought that this could be a great place to start making my builds more realistic. And behold! the AA-3. I focused on the high AoA, balancing it between somewhat realistic, but still preserving the fun factor, and the cockpit. I was very happy with the radar I coded, and I'll admit its not the most functional, it is nonetheless still completely mine. As always, thank you all for the support, I'll see you all around in another few months!
