Description
After some play testing and re-engineering, the Sky Hawk looks and feels much more like a bona fide aircraft. It now features winglets (my term), which carry out a few important functions necessary for flight. For starters, the landing skids can now retract and tuck under the winglets to minimize the profile. Second, the winglets have flight adjustment exhaust ports at their tips - a design influenced by the real life AV8B Harrier. Lastly, the missile rails have been moved to the winglets, so as to not get in the way of the main engines' exhaust. It's a bit bigger in proportion to a human, as compared to the toy:action figure ratio, but it's still incredibly small and capable of flying in tight spots.
