Aero L-39 Albatros

Here it is! My first XML modded plane. Every piece making up this plane has been xml designed. It has been quite the undertaking, but I love the incredible precision possible. I hope you enjoy this one!

My mistake on the scale however. The landing gear looks funny being so large on this small scale plane... :/

    This… was- sorry, is literally the best aircraft I’ve downloaded so far. Consider this comment my second through fifth upvote.

    Edit: Wow… I guess I’m a bit late.

    Nice job, I just finished my first XML designed project as well...phew - more work than I ever thought it would be! Funny, I had the opposite problem with the landing gear, my 1:1 scale project left the gear looking tiny. GJ!
