My first airplane design, the Thunder Raider is a WWII-style modern "sport" plane I guess you could call it. It was inspired by the F4U Corsair, P-47 Thunderbolt, and the P-51 Mustang. This version is a civillian sport version that is very fun to fly, fully aerobatic, and could be used for racing, but it is a bit on the slow side with 2000HP pulling it to 350MPH in level flight. Currently working on an armed version as well. The plane also comes with landing lights, which to activate press 2, and nav and beacon lights press 1. Also their's an airbrake at the end of the radiator inlet that is supposed to be the "cowl flap" like the P-51. Enjoy!

Kinda does.
Thank you! I am currently working on an armed version and after that I may make a "Thunder Racer" which would more than likely be the Thunder Raider except with revisions to make it faster.
Nice work!
