English Electric Lightning

40.2k WisconsinStatePolice  3.9 years ago
Auto Credit Based on BurkeAircraft1's 60s fighter and interceptor challenge

For Patrickaburke2006's 60s fighter and interceptor challenge.

Please be aware, when landing and taking off the aircraft likes to yaw to the right.

This is the first plane I have built using a computer!

The Lightning’s first flight was in 1957(?), but it began being equipped in squadrons in 1960.

    This is the best so far it has thee best handling and top speed it’s decent and landing but it has a horrible pitch and high speeds and when you put on the throttle it’s always full throttle it has a basic non detailed paint job but it’s the best so far

    Very fun, though maybe try to put inlets, as it says the engines aren’t getting enough air.
