Micro AT-6 Texan / Harvard (3rd entry to WalrusAircraft's Micro Plane competition)
The AT-6 is one of my all-time favorite planes, so i decided to make a mini version of it. This is one of my best planes, and if flies almost perfectly. It cruises comfortably at 410 mph (656 kph), and has almost no natural tendancy to pitch in any direction once up to speed. It's quite manuverable. For some reason takeoff is much smoother than with my previous designs. Here in America, it's known as the Texan but elsewhere it's called the Harvard. To make this I took my Hellcat and slightly changed the tail section, moving around some fuselage pieces and changing the rudder. I also striped off and redesigned the cockpit. To get the look I wanted for the paint job on the wings, I had to split them into more, smaller segments. This design abides to the original rules to the contest, as I feel the new ones are a little too lax. I hope this is in time!
**Please note that while this does use a modded engine, you do not need any mods to fly it.**
Built and tested on Medium Physics setting.

Nice
I love this a lot. It actually works perfect with my catapult system that I use for warships, which makes it an amazing recon fighter for them. While we're on the subject, would it be okay if I released the ship I'm building, with this on it? I will credit you.
Oh
@ShiptyCo It worked well in it's day. And on MEDIUM PHYSICS SETTINGS
Uhh, the wings break easily
@Static LOL so small xD I used fuselage rotation to hide the cockpit on my next little project :) It'll be out in a day or so once I get the thing to work better xD.
@DeezDucks It's embedded in the fuselage! A little modding can go a long way.
Wheres the cockpit??
