Name that movie!
Here she is - the Iron Tadpole in all her (slightly inaccurate) glory. I had fun building her, so I hope you guys have fun blowing crap up with her.
She is fully carrier capable too - both take off and landing.

AG1 - drop centreline stores
AG2 - drop underwing stores
AG3 - unsused (for now...)
AG4 - unsused (for now...)
AG5 - Lights and "hands off" autopilot

Dude... I just got flashbacks when I had my old SP account, I had this EXACT aircraft, my personal favorite. So, as to make up what I wanted to say all those years ago, I am glad to say “thank you.”
Flight of the intruder is the movie
Thanks. Im happy youre enjoying her. @Jerushah
This is probably my favorite plane besides the YF-23 black widow and the F-15 eagle. You did a great job at making this
Yep. I hear you. My first SE.5a build did this. Turned out that the undercarriage had several tons of dead weight, for no apparent reason... @sheepsblood
@GhostHTX
The one I hate is when you get close to completion or deep into a build and then the aircraft starts rolling to one side. There is no way to tell how it happened. I have my guesses, one being a mirrored part doubled on one side and has significant weight.
Ok! At 24 upvotes this is my most liked build yet! Many thanks to all.
Dingdingding!@ChiChiWerx I almost wrote something about how AG3 and AG4 were out of action due to Morg's brains making the buttons stick, but I quickly realised that it would have been in pretty poor taste...
Flight of the Intruder.
Cool, thanks! She was completely neutral at one point of the build, flew straight and level without trim. Im not sure what I did to bugger that up. Very welcome fix, that. @sheepsblood

I corrected the CoG. She was unstable upon elevator movement.
Splendid. I'll have the house boy set out the fine crystal. @Tang0five
Pimm's o'clock! @GhostHTX
Great job!!
If we keep this up old boy Im going to have to ask my man to fetch my top hat and monicle. @Tang0five
My next kite will have roundels, a fin flash and possibly a propeller.
By Jove! Jolly good show old boy!
Flight of the Intruder! And nice job on the “Iron Drumstick!”
Lol. Not a problem @GhostHTX
Crikey! That was quick! I havet even put the description up yet!! Thanks. @CRJ900Pilot
Nice!
