Hello!! Instructions: The gear were a bit buggy, so I've rigged up trim to work them. Ag1+trim up to store wheels; deactivate Ag1 and return trim bar to center. So this week is kind of hectic for me, but I'd like to put a few things up that in my opinion are like mini-builds so to speak. I'd like to focus my efforts on small wartime craft, like Germany's home defense craft (Imagined here thank to Luft 46') or some of the "civillian defense" craft the U.S. came up with. They won't be super detailed, but fun little projects to keep me occupied until I have more time to work on some bigger projects. Hopefully, you enjoy this little collection, and if you have a suggestion for something bigger you'd like to see recreated, drop me a line and I will look into it. Thanks for stopping by to look, and as always enjoy your flight!!

You’re welcome and thank you! @Sgtk
@Toast https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/6fpfY0/Bell-XP-77 is what I was thinking. It's in the realm of defense. That or the Douglas XP-48. Thank you for the upvote!!
What I think I remember: United States put out a request for a cheap, easily produced, simple fighter that civilian pilots could fly in the event the United States was ever forced to defend itself. The project was dropped because we realized how unrealistic it was. Can’t remember anything else though.
What are these “Civillian Defense” aircraft the United States designed. I vaguely remember something about one design I read about, but that could just be my mind paying tricks on me. Any elaboration would help!
@Sgtk You're welcome!
