Mitsubishi A6M2 (ZERO)

Auto Credit Based on RcAddict's Mitsubishi A6M2 (ZERO)

This is version 3 of my previosly made zero. Whats improved this time is overall handling, more power. This Mitsubishi A6M2 or more commonly known as the zero was one of the most manuverable warbirds in ww2. My inspiration came while I watched Midway for the first time and so I decided to make a zero, but it was going to have to be a lot better than my previous attempts. My first goal was to improve the cockpit so I decided to make a hollowed out frame to put the cockpit pieces inside of (which I havent done before). Then I wanted to make the wings more realistic. Lastly I wanted to make custom landing gear. In the end I got this, hope you enjoy.

    @MASTERMEMES Another thing that could cause this problem might be landing gear because the tires have extra grip compared to regular landing gear and they tend to not spin as fast as the plane is moving causing it to nose over. Like I stated earlier, if you do a 30% throttle takeoff, it gives the wheels a chance to accelerate. Hey, maybe ill make a V4 where everything is fixed

    @MASTERMEMES because i would assume your going full throttle which causes it to tip over. 30% throttle on take off should fix any problem your having. I did this because with out the weight in the front the plane would stall when pulling up.
