Fictional Fighter NF-17A Thunderbolt

Well hello guys

This is my second aircraft on this site.

This plane was actually born in another game, and I decided to build it here.

This plane has a bit of history.

NF-17A Thunderbolt - A fighter-interceptor developed between 1942 and mid-1943 by the NVDC Design Bureau.

It was a pretty good machine, capable of fighting on equal terms with enemy fighters. Maneuverability, although noted as not the best, was acceptable. It was noted that due to its powerful engine, NF-17 performs well in vertical combat.

Was a replacement for the outdated NF-13. Was produced from the end of 1943 to the beginning of 1945.

A total of 2473 aircraft of all modifications were built.

Well, that's all about this plane, I think.

WARNING

The plane has a very tricky takeoff, as the engine is quite powerful, the plane can dive nose down, so use no more than 50% throttle, takeoff speed is about 120 knots/140 miles/200 kilometers per hour.

There are also some problems with landing, you shouldn't brake too much after touchdown for the same reason. The landing speed is about the same as the takeoff.

Oh, I forgot to tell, I accidentally made the plane look a like a Spitfire, but you have to keep in mind that I designed the plane from scratch.

Btw, you can try to upgrade this plane, and publish it, I'll be interested to see and probably gain experience

Guys please can you explain how to edit text, like making large headlines, and how to add in-flight screenshots
