X23 - Paper Lightning

1,611 xiaofootball  4.2 years ago

Purely in the interest of science, I've build an airplane using mostly wing parts. It's suppose to look like those paper-craft airplanes. I've tried my best to make this build 1:1 in size compared to the real P-38.

I am highly confident that this is the only P-38 replica out there with fully function rudder. Use the rudder to turn like cars.

VTOL - Flaps

Remove the guns to make this plane valid for unlimited, props, and mod tournaments. Remove guns, engines, and landing gear; set fuselage pieces's dead weight to 750 lb for super glider (Beats Glidey).
