Introduction

First thanks to BogdanX for reminding me of the Armstrong Whitworth AW52 and Kangy (I hope i got that right, Bog deletes his forum posts so i cant go back and check...)

So the AW52 was a big beasty, designed for 3 people for high speed reseach with a view to making recon/bombing aircraft, i twisted this into a much smaller airframe as a fighter (comparable to the HO229 etc) but with comparable shape, features etc.

I decided to use a swedish colour scheme similar to that which adorned export DH Vampires which where of a similar era to what i was aiming for.

Armament consists of 4no. 20mm cannon (pretty much the standard British loadout for this era of aircraft)

Controls

AG1 turns on engines
AG2 shuts canopy
AG6 bail out
VTOL dn = flaps

How low can you go?

So as my last build had a low flying moment, i thought i would replicate it with this, when its trimmed it is immensely stable so its no bother to do this =)
(370kts at about 2ft high lol)
