I didn't see a mention of this plane. Looks interesting (especially for $10). I saw it on the Flightsim.to store. If you are a YF-23 fan (like me) you will recognize the shape, but with a single engine incorporating a variable engine nozzle. Interesting exterior, kind of cheesy dash board / interior.


Looking forward to seeing some test flight reports.
 
Interesting... But the F-20 designation is already taken by the Tiger Shark - a Northrop F-5 airframe with the two tiny engines removed and a single Hornet engine shoehorned in the space left.
 
Despite the lack of reviews by others (there are, however, 2 reviews on Flightsim.to) and the disclosure that the aircraft is pre-release (version 0.7), I acquired this hot rod! Well, I think it will be a hot rod when I figure out how to retract the landing gear (typical commands like G, cntl G, assigned gear switch, etc., are not working). I flew it around the patch a couple times. Handles well, high TOFF speed, approach speed of 168 kts. (no indexer, but a ladder in the HUD to use for speed on approach). Aircraft exterior is OK quality and an interesting design.

The model is a great start and I hope the creator continues to improve this aircraft....if I could get the gear up, I might have more to say.
