Auto Credit Based on SimpleFlow's WORLD WAR II CHALLENGE [Closed]

The Me 163 Komet was a German Interceptor propulsed by a rocket engine, Its top speed could reach 1130 km/h (world record), as its basis was a glider, it had amazing flying characteristics, making t able to do circles around enemy fighters and glide safely to the airfield. I ommited the Hisorical markings because I didn't want to screw up the Aerodinamics. this Aircraft has aproximated dimensions and weight, In theory, Historical maneuvrability and has the famous 8-10min fuel time.
Controls: Roll/Pitch/yaw
AG 1: detach Dolly unit
Landing gear: retract/open landing skid and tail wheel.
Historical Take off instructions(please follow):
set throttle to 100%, then take off at 200mph(or lower if you cant keep it on the road), acelerate to 420mph at runway level(flying), Detach Dolly unit, retract Landing gear and gently pull up to 70-90°.
Engagement:
Climb to 30k ft and open fire, then climb to 40k ft and shut down the engine and dive down to 31k ft, open fire and climb again to 40k ft. repeat the process until the 4th or 5th pass, then go back to airfield.

Landing, make sure to arrive at 250-300mph to the airfield, shut down the engine(unless you're already out of fuel) and slow down to 110mph and open the landing gear, then land gently on the grass.
IMPORTANT: Never land on asphalt, or you will get upside down and explode( remember that most of Me 163 exploded for being upside-down due to the volatile fuel)

    Very nice. I was planning on building this for the WW II challenge. I guess I will need to build something else, huh.
