INSTRUCTIONS
Cam 1: Cockpit View
Throttle up and pull up until the plane lifts off.

Another replica from me, this time the A6M Zero's lesser-known little brother, the A5M Claude. It was the first carrier-based monoplane in the Japanese naval fleet. Has an accurate armament, realistic manueverability, and almost-perfect speed capabilities in relation to the real thing. Also is fitted with a relatively accurate gunsight. Enjoy, leave a comment, and happy flying! :)

    Yeah @Scottydoesthings the fixed landing gear is a big problem in terms of drag. The air moving past the plane pushes the undercarriage back, which makes the plane nose over. It's an ongoing conflict to get it perfectly stable, since moving the center of mass backward could render it completely unflyable.

    Very well done, a bit nose-heavy, but I can deal with it :D
