Night Ember VTOL Attack Craft

[Rezolution]

Here's the latest addition to my Terrestrial Defense Force, the Night Ember light VTOL attack aircraft.

The ship is relatively stable, as long as you stay ahead of the craft. It actually flies very well when an advanced inline stabilizer is placed between the rear fuselage and the tail-boom, but for aesthetic reasons and because I believe that a craft isn't truly airworthy if it can't fly without the advanced stabilizers, I left it off for the final build.

In standard ground attack role, it comes loaded with two Fishfinder Dumberfire Mk. II missiles...

That actually do fire...

And are relatively accurate at close range. Just make sure to aim low.

Here's the link to the ship if anyone's interested: https://www.dropbox.com/s/txr04ju65dccggg/Night%20Ember.craft?dl=0.

Flying it can be a bit sporty at times if you don't stay on the ball. However, as long as you keep ahead of it, fly coordinated, and don't fly backwards at more than 10 m/s (it hates that), it is very controllable. Moving the engines closer to the fuse of course helps with lateral/longitudinal inertia changes, but I just don't like the way it looks in that configuration.

At any rate, hope you all like it. Thanks for looking!
