"PUFFIN" F-35 based SMALL JET v2 - small changes

A small twin engine fighter capable of 500+ kmph with radar locking and tracking system. has infrared cameras and a map for night navigation. comes equipped with 2 dropppable fuel tanks as well as 5000 litres of internal fuel storage. has a top mounted refuel port for mid air refuelling.

there is a instrument panel on either side of the intake that once opened gives access to a range of equipment as well as access to a refuelling port to refuel the main interior tank. the two side tanks feed into the main tank and are refuelled seperately.

the plane is near perfectly tuned so that it remains as level as possible during flight. obviously dropping the fuel tanks or burning fuel will shift the C.O.M and will make the plane pitch slightly. i spent some time finely tuning the placement of the wing blocks to try and keep this balance. there is no self righting/ stability PID, it simply rely's on the balance of the aircraft.

top speed of the aricraft is around 500 kmph. i played around with trying to get a higher speed but that would either come at the cost of instabilty/ higher fuel consumption or the electric generator. i tried to make it as fast as reasonably possible however if you find it is too slow, you could increase the max rps on the throttle lever and this would make you go faster but at a higher fuel consumption and a loss of stabilty during manouvers.

the plane was first designed as an f-35 but i later changed it to be more like the f-22 with double exhuasts. the only reason for this was more speed
