CRDB-1500s "Sky Reaper"

Info:

After the first version of this aircraft was put into in 1938 (the CRDB-1500 "Knight"), multiple issues with the design arose. The first of which was its takeoff ability. The poor center of lift painted with bad landing gear made getting the aircraft off the ground a difficult task. This also contributed to multiple crashes of undamaged aircraft during landing. The old aircraft also had overall poor flight characteristics, in hard banks the plane would stall and end up in an irrecoverable flat-spin.

Taking this into consideration, the CSSR rolled out an improved version of the aircraft, featuring an improved engine and swapping out the old two-blade wood propeller for a real prop. This version also had a rework of the fuselage and wing placements to improve flight characteristics and make takeoff uneventful.

Armament:

3x .30 cal machine guns

6x 250-pound bombs

Features:

Cockpit with gauges and stuff

Wings that have custom alerions and airbrakes

It can actually take off now

Sorry for the repost. The first version had an egregious amount of spelling mistakes so I took it down. It is back now.
