Yes, Its name is a Disney reference

"The A-113 Lightyear was the smallest, most useful Light Attack aircraft of its time. It was designed to meet the United States Marine Corps request for a small, nimble, quick and easy to fly aircraft to defend its troops in the war in North Korea from 2015-2028. It carried an impressive, but still quite small payload. Some issues were found at first, such as low speed, high stall probability and many other things. When these issues were finally worked out, the craft proved itself to be usefull in many roles. The famous aircraft was enventually retired in 2069, after 49 years of service."

    I really like this! The off centre forward gear really suits this aircraft. I will say though that the nose and fuselage feels too short. The cockpit should be in the same place but the fuselage should stick out forward a tad bit more. Yaw is also inverted. Trim would also be nice too. Other than this I really like the build!
