1: flaps 2: landing lights 3: cabin lights In 1958, Ridge Avaiton took the knowlegde they gained from building planes in WW2, to make one of the last propeller driven aircraft of the era. This plane was made for regional, commercial travel between states and bordering countries. I hope you enjoy!

@Cvpigunguy I’m also mobile only so I have to ask for things to be made or take them off old builds hahaha. It’s a real struggle but I’ve amassed a large selection of XML parts over the years hahaha
@Mustang51 I'm mobile only, so I cant xml mod, ally stuff is downloaded. I used ifc and negative weights I snagged off of multiple planes over time. You can see that with my A6M supermod. Its ridiculous and completely unrealistic, but that's the fun of it
@Cvpigunguy that’s incredibly fast for an aircraft like this anyway. I also really dislike infinite fuel tanks. I tend to use a mix of normal fuel and a small amount of weightless fuel from an XML part to compensate for the incredibly fast fuel burn for the SP engines. It’s nice since you can choose how much weightless fuel you want. If you’d like this piece too let me know and I’ll post it for you
@Mustang51 thank you, I think its also vanilla too. I didnt use any xml modding except for the lights. It felt too sporty with an infinite fuel tank, so I ditched it for real fuel and its weight. It still hits 400mph in higher altitudes, but that's ok
@Cvpigunguy holy crap I just realised this was 161 parts. I thought it was 450 minimum! It’s really terrific to be able to make such a great looking aircraft with so few parts
@Mustang51 yeah your planes are on another plane than mine (pun intended). I think I'll stick with low part count builds for now, until I'm ready to move up to the big boys. Another awesome thing about LCB is that you can use them as traffic for the mobile and get away with it haha. Cant wait to see what you release.
@Cvpigunguy half of my aircraft are like that. The one I’m working on right now is completely like actually hahaha. Started as one thing and turned into another
@Mustang51 I really appreciate that. It's on of those builds that started out as one thing (medium bomber/ smaller than the B-25) and move into the thing it really struck me as. Sometimes they just beg to be built.
Wow, this is really a beautiful aircraft. Lovely work on this
