Built solely for Short Landing challenge. Rudder repurposed for flaps. Instructions:
-At start: Full flaps, 3 taps of trim to avoid nose sinking, set power to 30% and lower nose to gain speed.
-When speed reaches 120 mph, reduce power to 20% and level off. Keep speed at 120 mph and gently float down. Keep full flaps.
-Just before landing, kill engines and release flaps.
-When on carrier deck, full brakes.
In Sandbox Mode this plane flies like a pig but it can take off and land. With flaps it's approach speed is low and with plenty of air brakes, I have bagged USS Beast and Wright North Airfield landings with this plane.

What should my next plane be?
@ThePrototype thanks for upvote!
@PlaneMan21 Thanks for upvotes. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work. Would you mind to elaborate what went wrong?

It pays of though @Jukkelus
@ThePrototype Thanks! It took a lot of trial and error to make that plane :-)
I like the look of it
