BFE 450-G9 Hornet

2 weeks work messing about making this plane fly nice. 3 bfe jets make this plane a heavy rear with very little pitch control. built the wing to the rear to counter the weight for best stability. 0 lift on the wings. can fly upside down through bridge following the road. my fastest valley flyer. 850+mph/4xmachine guns on wing tips/8xair brakes. the Bfe 450-G9 Hornet-3xbfe150's=450 and in a hard turn im guessing you pull 9 g's. you can drop the power to 5% and still keep your altitude. also tried to balance yaw control, still twists but very little. this plane is a dog fighter, no need for missiles, machine guns do the job, 2x chaff. ive put a thin wing to the front and the wing fatter at the rear. experimental wing shape.
