105k Hedero  2.6 years ago




Brief History

The Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender is a 1940s United States prototype fighter aircraft built by Curtiss-Wright. Wiki

Armament
4x .50 (12.7 mm) nose-mounted machine guns

Controls
1=Nav Lights
G=Landing Gear
VTOL=Flaps

Features
1:1 scale
Accurate blueprint accuracy and fine details
Fictional silver with black antiglare colorscheme
Real airfoils with custom landing gear wells
Accurate roll rate and top speed at sea level


Well I decided to build this absolutely epic fail of an aircraft. There was nothing noteable about this airplane's performance (except for its ability to quickly and easily fall into an unrecoverable spin). But she sure is a looker, and the enemy might have to do a double take when they see this one flying! (Or controlled falling, either one works)
It's a pretty simple aircraft, nothing crazy, but a decent little replica to fool around with, and fun to fly! So I hope you guys enjoy the "Ass Ender"!

    Also, part of the reason I left is because my device was bad and I could barely play. I upgraded because the old one wouldnt even charge anymore

    It depends, it can take a couple weeks to a month. All depends on how fast I want to build. @SkyBoogie1the1original
