The XF-19 Royal

The XF-19 is a fictional aircraft, created as a competitor to the YF-22 for the DoD's new air superiority fighter contract in the late 80's and early 90's

The XF-19, despite similar flight characteristics to the YF-22, as well as a faster production rate, lost out to the YF-22; namely because it's stealth capabilities were underdeveloped compared to its counterparts

The XF-19 has 10 Missiles, 8 Guardian & 2 Interceptor Air to Air missiles, and 4 wing mounted guns

This craft is kind of a big thank you to the community members who I've learned from in the past, a lot of the basic techniques they've taught me and even this description are used in this craft and I'm proud of it.
An extra mention to the good people at SPSC, I'm not sure I would've learned what I have or been inspired to build planes if I wasn't a member of the community
Craft is VR ready, I actually managed to land it on the Beast in VR so its not too bad. If you happen to enter a flat spin, just hit the parachute and cut throttle, and when you're pointing straight down, re-engage throttle, build up speed, cut chutes, and slowly pull up
