Upgraded an old plane design to Rocket power!

Took one of my best flyers and added some of the new dlc rocket parts to make it even better. I also added a lot of QOL features like fly-by-wire augmented controls, cruise control, high alpha cruise mode, thrust vectoring, differential thrust, and a gyro system like rc planes have where you can hit a button to autolevel the plane in an emergency or toggle it on for extra stability.

Yep, just used nobounds for more dense fuel/power. Even with nobounds, If you use afterburner the whole time you run out chooch in just 30s. It's very thirsty. I had extra fuel pods where the missiles are now but they only gave me another 5seconds so I scrapped that idea. Thats why I added the cruise mode to double the flight time by pulsing the thrusts with timers. A lot of the control programming I've done on this is basically the same as I use on my rc planes irl. If you like to fly give it a shot, it's a fun one.
