RTG's are allowed. 

No drones

No Sci-Fi planes

No armor.

No unreasonable part clipping. 

*For those who don't want to have BDA, AJE, or FAR installed*

I will put BDA weapons on your craft for you. 

For FAR, if I can fly properly in FAR (last times second place plane was originally stock, it happened to work in FAR) I will take it.

Since the only real user-noticable change In AJE is reduced thrust by about half, I will remove fuel to the minimum for your airplanes class, unless you want otherwise. I will try to keep the CG in the same location. 

LEADERBOARD:

1.

@goduranus, do you want me to put it your F-18? I remember you entered it in the last one, but I never fought it.

That one doesn't seem to work well anymore, it was optimized for using radar missiles.
