Best flown on low physics settings (see notes below).

Continuing my obsession with classic de Havillands, I proudly present the Mosquito. Hope you enjoy flying her, please don't forget to rate :)

The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a British multi-role combat aircraft with a two-man crew that served during and after the Second World War. It was one of few operational front-line aircraft of the era constructed almost entirely of wood and was nicknamed "The Wooden Wonder". When the Mosquito began production in 1941, it was one of the fastest operational aircraft in the world.

Notes to pilots
------------------
• Taking-off with High physics is very tricky as it starts to yaw to the left immediately after the tail lifts off. On Medium it is possible to counter it with right rudder but, but using Low settings is recommended.

• On take-off, tail lifts at 100mph, rotate gently at about 120mph. Gear will overspeed and collapse past 160mph and you will have a bad time.
• Slide VTOL up to raise the gear.
• Has a slight tendency to pitch-downwards in flight, I haven't been able to iron that out unfortunately.
