Following the earlier success of the GT-29 "Norman" trainer aircraft with the western Allies of WWII, Graingy developed the GT-30 "Norman II" to provide a more conventional bomber with which to train pilots. The aircraft was built to allow two crew to practise bombing and strafing, being equiped with a bomb bay and multiple machine guns. This aircraft is painted the standard Red-and-Yellow for Graingy trainers. Controls found under instructions.

As of Halloween 2023, this thing has twice the number of upvotes as it has downloads.
A remodel of the first upload on this account to celebrate the full makeover of the account (If only I could add screenshots…)
Finally converted the Graingy logo to a proper image using MS paint, thus my snazzy new profile picture.
I had tried to give it fuselage covered wings, but for whatever reason it caused it to start pitching and losing control even after turning off drag calculations and whatnot.
Made me sad, since I spent tons of time working on getting them to fit.
Regardless, this is a pretty simple plane for SimplePlanes.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Darn.
@Graingy Not really
@TheUltimatePlaneLover I… see?
So no need for trainers.
@Graingy Sci-fi tech and what not that accelerates learning and may or may not give vehicles sentience
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Sorry to bother. I'm not sure if you've said, but what's your training situation? How do your pilots and crews learn to perform their duties?
@TheMouse I could tell.
@ComradeSandman @Graingy
Yes, I know who you are lol.
@TheMouse You have now met the face of the Graingy aircraft company on SimplePlanes.com, and the face of the Graingy aircraft company on SimplePlanes.com!
