PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION! Here is a brief landing tutorial before you begin:

On short final, trim up, gear down, landing speed is around 140-130 mph. Flare, as the aircraft has a tendency to jerk foward slightly on landing, and plus, it is the right way. Brake as much as you want, I set the torque to 1, so you're good. Now, a short biography of this aircraft: The Fairey Spearfish was a 1940s British torpedo bomber designed and built by Fairey Aviation for the Fleet Air Arm. It was one of the largest single-engine aircraft to ever operate from a British aircraft carrier. Here is the link to full article. Here is the blueprint I used: However, enjoy! By the way, it took me 2 days to make this aircraft. I did the full model the 1st day, and the 2nd day, I added a bit more detail, and test flew it, and did a few last minute tweaks. Worth it!
