Special Mentions:

Thank you to JamesBoA for giving me tips on how to build the canopy

History:

The Lightning Aircraft Industries DL-90, nicknamed the 'Swiftfire', was manufactured in 1944. It was designed as a medium, single-engine, ground-attack aircraft that was primarily equipped with 16x unguided rockets and 2x 250-pound bombs, and it was equipped with 2x 20mm and 30mm cannons by design.

Coincidently, the DL-90 saw service in D-day to help clear enemy forces from the path of the allies. The aircraft could also be equipped with either; more rockets, heavier bombs or 2x 40mm cannons slung under the wings.

Surprisingly, the DL-90 did actually see service in the Vietnam war alongside the A-1 Skyraider. There was another version of the DL-90 that was to be made in 1945, the DL-95A. This version would have been used for photo-reconnaissance, but only one prototype was ever made.

The DL-90, however, was retired in 1976 and by this time, over 10,000 had been constructed. The DL-90 'SwiftFire' is still alive though, as 20 are in preservation, 12 of which are airworthy.

Controls:

AG-1: Landing Lights
AG-2: Navigation and Beacon lights
AG-3: Strobe lights
AG-4: Airbrakes
VTOL+Down: Flaps
G: Gear
Canopy: Closes at 25 mph / opens under 25 mph

Takeoff and Landing:

For Takeoff, set flaps to half-way and set the throttle to 100%. Lift-off at 110 mph.

When Landing, set flaps to full, activate the airbrakes and lower the gear. Approach at 130 mph and touch-down at 100 mph. When touching-down, have the tail somewhat lowered and when braking, constantly hold the elevators up to prevent the nose from going into the ground.

Creator notes

This isn't my first time making an opening canopy, but it's a better attempt than my first.
Yes, you can change the armament on this aircraft.
The rudder will need to be used on takeoff.
Yes, the first picture in the description is me shooting down an aircraft with an unguided rocket for ground targets
