An experiment using rotators to shift the cockpit in flight to aid the pilot in pulling high-g turns. It's a known fact the human body is more resistant to horizontal g forces than vertical ones. The aptly-named "Eyeballs-In" capitalizes on that fact by pitching the cockpit into the turn so the pilot is subjected to horizontal forces instead of dangerous vertical ones. Pilots would fear an enemy who could turn all day without passing out.
Operation:
AG1 enables cockpit tilt, which is bound to pitch input.
AG2 turns on the lights.
AG7 dumps the fuel tanks.
AG8 disables the elevons rolling action.
VTOL slider operates the flaps.
The plane is armed with two miniguns, 4 guardians, and 4 interceptors.
Also, you may notice a LOT of similarities with an F-15. Well that is because I also used building this plane as practice for refining potential techniques I would want to employ in the creation of the F-15 replica I plan to build eventually. So look forward to that whenever I decide to stop being so lazy/busy.

@Sunnyskies Ok.
@AtomicFerret007 I've been too busy lately to sit down and actually spend time on a new build. That's why I haven't released much recently. Aside from checking my notifications once a day, I'm not too active right now.
@Sunnyskies Sad....you would be good at it.
@AtomicFerret007 I used it to practice building techniques I might employ in the construction of an F-15 replica. I never got around to finally building that though...
@Sunnyskies I thought so.
@AtomicFerret007 Yeah, that was kind of intentional.
Looks a lot like the F-15!
@Sunnyskies np
@Sunnyskies No problem!
@BogdanX True. A more aerodynamic bottom face would be a requirement for such a plane.
@MAHADI @BaconRoll Thanks!
Gah! This is the concept that I was looking for. Good job!
awesome, a new style of cockpit's position, COOL
@Treadmill103 Thanks!
