P-34A trouble maker

Auto Credit Based on poopatron71's Fixed Gear Fighter Challenge (FINISHED)

Sorry for deleting, I happen to locked up my rudder. Now it is fixed. Designed in 1927, P-34 was served as a test platform of new technologies. This is the early model with fixed landing gears and open cockpit to satisfy the old pilots that flew in WWI. The flaps were hydrolic and can improve the handling during landing and taking off. Some experienced pilots even use the flaps to slow the plane down and gain advantage in dogflight. VTOL down flap, trim for trim. Hope you enjoy! P.S. It is my first plane features a detailed cockpit so please leave comments on things to improve.

    @Ownedpilot how did you reduce nose drop? Is there a special way you did it?

    You basically nailed it. A really nice cockpit indeed. I really like what you did with the exhaust and landing gear. Keep up the good work.
