I have added Gears to this Jet!
WARNING: WHEN TAKING OFF, SET THE THROTTLE TO BELOW 25%
TO AVOID THE PLANE FLIPING, SET THE THROTTLE TO A 100% WHEN YOU'RE IN THE AIR!

The German Messerschmitt 262 Jet Fighter. First introduced in 1944, the Me 262 was the first operational jet-powered fighter. It was famously used for Anti-Bomber fighters, Fighter-Bombers and Interceptors, with a top speed of 540 mph and armed with 4 x 30 mm MK 108 cannons and additional rockets. Although the Me 262 is fast, it's not very maneuverable compared to other fighters.

Hello everyone, after months of not uploading, I'm back. This is not the best Me 262, but I tried, I hope you all enjoy it!
(Another note, this plane tends to lift up a lot, so adjust your trim!)
(I fixed the cockpit! kinda...)
I know its not the best Landing Gears for this Jet, but I suck at making Costum Landing Gears...
I could add other people's custom landing gears like Mustang51's, but I don't know where to place the gears properly (I will credit them when I'm using their landing gear of course)...

    The cockpit does look a bit better and finally I can land it! If you want help attaching better looking gears to your future aircraft let me know :)
