@WrightAirCo (50's Aircraft Challenge.)
Note: This aircraft may not perform realistically due to it having a gyroscope because if It doesn't have a gyroscope it will go into a downwards spiral. Also the livery is custom made by me and based off of real scorpion liveries.
I just realised I made a mistake, I put the gyroscope outside of the aircraft. Sorry.

The Northrop F-89 Scorpion was an American all-weather interceptor built during the 1950s, the first jet-powered aircraft designed for that role from the outset to enter service. Though its straight wings limited its performance, it was among the first United States Air Force (USAF) jet fighters equipped with guided missiles and notably the first combat aircraft armed with air-to-air nuclear weapons (the unguided Genie rocket).

    Note: This F-89 has no armaments to increase FPS and General Performance. It also is made on Android so many things I can't do like XML but I did manage to get XML modded engines to put on my plane.
