Takeoff is kind of goofy, flaps 50% and full pitch up with yaw corrections. I dunno, wheels in this game are hard.
A stern German warning to their Japanese ally prompted the development of this strange interceptor. The J7W1 was a response to high flying American bomber formations targeting the home islands. The radical canard design ensured outstanding climbing performance, and a cluster of four nose mounted 30mm cannons gave this hunter a terrifying bite.

2xType 3 Mk27m3 timed fuse air to air close range rockets. Aim using lower dashes on gunsight, aligning 4 dashes to the width of 4 engines on heavy bombers to get the perfect hit.

@Weaverfish i have a challenge for canard ground attack planes going on. i think by the looks of this build it could be interesting for you.
Weaver, your plane making outsands me. Well done! @Weaverfish
thanks alot you are back，i was forgot my password...so great to see your planes agan！
@Weaverfish Great plane again, simple yet effective. As usual i love your design. Keep up the good work mate !
Man, I'm so glad to see your work again. I myself have not done anything for a long time, but I am very glad to see your work. Maybe I'll be back.
I love how you did the camera reactions to stick movement. I dont really like how the cockpit view is made useless, but appreciate how you made a gunsight that works on the camera view you provided. 9/10. Great job!
If I was a pilot for Japan during WW2, I'd say that plane looks like a death trap, look at that photo! It looks like the plane was there at the Chernobyl nuclear melt down.
It would be nice if SimplePlanes didn't delete itself and make me rebuy it, because refuse to.
Glad to see you back!
Welcome back Weaver!
OhMyGoshAnotherPlaneFromWeaverfish!
Hey your back!!
Welcome back Weaver!
Once you managed to somehow take off (yes wheels are really hard), it flies fantastic! Looks great too. Awesome job
Don't ever leave us for that long again! :D
Welcome back weaver
Thank you Weaver
It flys quite lovely
