AI-05 "Thunderstruck"

The AI-05 is an air superiority jet. fast and extremely agile. although the jet is fictional, it is inspired by numerous modern models, amongst especially the Sukhoi su 27 - 35 (the Flanker "Series").
The Thunderstruck is armed with a single 1200 RPM crossbow, delivering quite a surprising punch to anything made out of mostly wood. Additionally, it is remarkably strong capable of some small accidental hits without major damage.
Landing this device is also very easy and pretty much fail save, just turn off the engine, engage the landing gear and hold [S] untill it has landed.

2 handed:

trottle up/airbrake+trottle down - [WS]*

Notes
* The airbrake is set in such a way it slightly pitches UP when using them. use them together with the pitch up control (so [G] or [DOWN]) to turn nearly in place (if the speed is low enough). yes, in place.

- Reduced the biggest issue with the jet: the wooden 'spine' could break due the extreme G powers when turning. strengthened it with additional braces.
- the trottle down thruster appeared to be angled slightly, adjusted that.
