This is one of my favorite airplanes, not just because it is the first (to tell the truth for a jump of several meters, which was probably caused by catapult rather than wings, I do not know if you can call airplane ...) but because I think it's aesthetically a masterpiece in its simple essence.
In this model had to forcibly take some licenses due to the mechanics of the game and the game engine itself, but I kept some of the weaknesses of the original (for example the excessive closeness plans canard wing) and then the model carries of the behavioral defects of the original. All in all, however, flies much better than the original.
Obviously not having wheels can not start from the ground, but was not able to remedy this keeps its fidelity to the original aesthetics. Cockpit view is beautifull, I think very similar to the original pilot lying prone on the lower.
Mirroring this was a nightmare, so many, many things was create manually both sides. If you see some little unbalancing, is because this.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 neither DO NOT activate any afterburner nor launch any missiles. ;)

@SteadfastContracting :D Ty
Dude! this is AMAZING!
@TheStapler it sound like a plan... I must finish my Supermarine Spitfire first, then ì will explore this idea. Thanks.
To get a ground launch you could try using a detacher piece on a rail?
Cool. I was thinking to build this. But this is exceptional.
This wasn't the first plane to fly Richard Pearse made a proper plane with wheels a forward facing prop 1 and 1 set of wings so beat that. Get rekt m8 kiwis 4 the win u scrubs.
