Desc:
The Yakovlev Yak-3 (Russian: ?´?????? ??-3) was a World War II Soviet fighter aircraft. Robust and easy to maintain, it was much liked by pilots and ground crew alike.[1] It was one of the smallest and lightest major combat fighters fielded by any combatant during the war. Its high power-to-weight ratio gave it excellent performance.[2] It proved a formidable dogfighter. Marcel Albert, World War II French ace, who flew the Yak in USSR with the Normandie-Niémen Group, considered it a superior aircraft when compared to the P-51D Mustang and the Supermarine Spitfire.[3] After the war ended, it was flown by the Yugoslav and Polish Air Forces

AG1 and2 to activate guns, 3+VTOL up to stow gear. Thanks to EpicPigster1 for balancing/propulsion issues!

    @F4f879 flies great once in the air. I found moving the landing gear forward some helped a lot during take off. I know this looks worse but maybe keep it where it is and xml mod to rotate the landing gear 'forward' some. This will increase the forward foot print without hurting aesthetics much. Other wise great build!
