    This plane absolutely deserved a great build like this, the last prop-fighter of the USN. I especially love the way it handles. I was considering this very plane for my next build, but now that you've done it justice I will find some other plane that needs a little attention. Either a Dauntless SBD or an A6M-21. What do you think?

    @Tully2001 I can try to make a version with more limited agility ... but loses a little grace...

    @Tully2001 Thanks for comment. I think fly very well. I made some changes respect previous version, reducing accelerating, speed and agility. I'm sorry if you do not like it. For me it flies well and I'm satisfied with the job.
