Twin Prop inspired by the P-38 Lightning. Keep in mind this is inspired by the P-38, not a replica. The lifting surface connecting the center fuselage to the nasals has been narrowed to more closely reflect the P-38. This has had both benefits and drawbacks. The craft cruises at 35% power at 11k at 500MPH. Full power at 20-30K at 700MPH. It rolls faster and is a bit more maneuverable but has decreased range.

@CaptBill Thank you, I always loved the P-38 and wanted to do it justice.
@Cartera1 I'll swap that out and give it a try. Thanks.
Wonderful plane! I like the handling on it, it's almost real! XD. But you might try putting small retractable landing gear for the rear, this would help takeoffs a whole lot!
