A small detail update to my U-2 replica. I added detachable wing gears and a camera. During takeoff , when you hit 88MPH on the tarmac, Activate/Arm Group 1 to detach the gears.
This version of my original replica was the varaint used by the CIA in the late 1950's. In the early to mid 1960's it was used as a tail plane for Project Oxcart (The Lockheed A-12...which would eventually develop into the SR-71 Blackbird).
