Auto Credit Based on Walrus001's L-188 Electra Reeve Aleutian
L-188 Electra. With the dawn of the jet age Lockheed was unsure about how the future of jet propulsion would take the industry so a turboprop design was selected. While seeing a lot of initial interest the Electra had a troubled start. The high wing loading and a lot of lift generated from prop was lead to some interesting handling characteristics. Despite some issues the Electra has aged well outliving most designs from its era still being used primarily in Canada till this day. The Electra was the basis for the more successful P3 Orion.
Passenger Reeve Aleutian L-188 is available on my account if you prefer that.

Thank you@Walrus001
@KingEatsAlot I used a piston that’s concealed in the landing gear, however would recommend going to my latest Fokker f27 go into the cockpit and save the button that says “parking brake” to sub assemblies it’s a far better solution and what I’m using on all build’s going forward
How did you make the parking brakes?
That’s awsome! Thank you for keeping in mind the livery,used to be common here in Newfoundland!
@Newfoundlandplaneguy thanks!! I feel like that’s a plane I’ll make at some point, I got some projects that I’m going to do first but I’ll remember the livery.
Walrus001 your builds are absolutely incredible! Possibly my favourite creator on the site because your builds have a certain style that is kept in all your planes and they have full interiors,work great and look amazing! If you will take aircraft suggestions could you please consider an eastern provincial airways handley page herald dart?
