So let us start with the plane, it is in my previous plane remake project.
It used to be a LaGG-9 but I can hardly find lots of details and infos on web so I changed my mind yesterday and I make it a LaGG-5 today because I can find more infos of LaGG-5.

I have tried some new skills that I learn from other well-played players this time.

The wings consists of 2 parts : skeletons and flesh(?) Thanks to Designer Suite, I was able to put skeleton accurately according to three-viewing drawings , then I use fuselages to form wing shape (flesh) , which took me lots of patience, but I finally made it.

Features

accurate wingshape

customize flaps and landing gears

Drawback

Not historical horsepower

Due to some reason unexpected it can not do high maneuver even at mid-speed so I set a gyro

how to fly

AG 1 wing lights

AG 8 gyro

VTOL flaps

Trim trim

Spotlights

    @Timewolf yeah that happens often when you mirror a part or especially when you mirror the whole aircraft. It’s quite irritating sometimes but I don’t think it’s causing the issues here now

    It looks pretty good but it hardly flies at all. It’s constantly going up into a pitch on its own and no amount of counter input changes it. It will also start rolling in the opposite direction that I roll in and then not come out of the roll. I suggest taking the wing parts out and adjusting them until it flies normally
