This is a fictional airplane that I decided to create a little while ago. The original idea was to build a compact air-to-air focused fighter that was comparable to the vanilla planes in the game. It is meant to be a cheap dogfighter made from the late 90s to early 2000s.

I experimented with some new ideas on this plane that I hadn't ever tried before, so let me know what you think. Some of the new things I tried are auto-stabilizing canards, auto-trim, and procedural landing gear (at least in the front). The auto-trim is very basic but works well at lower flight levels. The main thing that I'm not the most happy about is the rear landing gear, which I just didn't have the desire to do right now. I may come back to that later on.

The 55 on the tail is a reference to its similarity to a Lockheed Martin F-16 and a Saab JAS 39 Grippen mashup (because 16 + 39 = 55). Let me know what you think of it and if you have any suggestions on how I can improve it.
