This plane took me about 1 day to build, but the real pain was finding a Navy decal for the USN with the red dot in the middle and sadly I cant mod but here it is.The Grumman XP-50 was a land-based development of the shipboard XF5F-1 Skyrocket fighter, entered into a USAAC contest for a twin-engine heavy interceptor aircraft. The Army Air Corps placed an order for a prototype on 25 November 1939 designating it XP-50, but it lost the competition to the Lockheed XP-49. Being pretty hard to fly I recomend pitching very softly and if you yaw too hard the flag will be wobbly. If its too hard just take off from the air.
