Introducing the SF - 83 Balisong

Due to the main feature of this aircraft that is its 2 dimensional thrust vectoring capabilities, this aircraft was given the name “Balisong,” which is another word for butterfly knife. Fly it right and it won’t bite you. This multi-role fighter comes armed with flares, one gun, and six “SM - Butterflies” which are stored in a missile bay.

Activation Groups:

AG1 opens the cockpit

AG2 activates the left engine

AG3 activates the right engine

AG4 activates 2D thrust vectoring

AG5 opens the missile bay/arms weapons and countermeasures

AG6 activates the arresting hook

AG5 + AG7 jettisons the missiles

AG8 = false ejects the pilot seat

Note about the controls:

Do not use pitch to angle the aircraft downwards as it will make the aircraft spiral out of control.

If you wish to play things safe, don’t rely on thrust vectoring too much.
