Holy shiitake guys, this took a long time. I initially made a WWII naval heavy fighter (that I built before I left for a year) and I was about to post but got distracted by making a Vietnam War variant. I was close to posting this many times as I was building but kept deciding to add more (which I do not regret), and decided to stop once I started getting 2 FPS. This very quickly became my largest build, in terms of part count.
It is a fictional twin engine Vietnam attacker based mostly on the A-37

Notes
- Once you reach about 200 kts, raise the trim about half a notch
- I understand the cockpit is in an awkward and unrealistic placement, but by the time I realized, it was too late to change
- I'm sorry mobile players for the high part count. I may or may not make a mobile friendly version

This thing looks great!
@Rougeclone that's what it's based on
This looks like the super tweet my granddad flew in the 60s
@Zanedavid you bet ya
@CRATE52PART2 It ain't me, It ain't me
He’s back with amazing work
I think it is funny@Armyguy1534

@Trainzo @Tankistrus37 @TheSolarFlare thank you very much
Very great build .
Fortunate son intensifies
Powerful) well done
@LieutenantSOT Thank you very much.
About the landing gear issue, that must have been a steep landing because I've come in heavy and its been fine
@Armyguy1534 and oh, okay! Cool!
This plane is super cool! I love all the details you added. The mini bomb bay, the landing gear (which I'll get back to in a second), and the cockpit. MWAH! All gorgeous
The weapons load is amazing too
.
However, the controls are funky at some times. Pitch seems a little slow to respond, but that's okay, the roll is good. I used full airbrake and slat/flaps on landing, but upon landing, the front gear broke. Yes, I was coming in rather high so I can try again
And it all and all is great at taking out enemy forces
@LieutenantSOT 100 is the normal takeoff speed. I did forget to mention this is meant to have STOL capabilities
@Armyguy1534 lol, you're good
.
If you take off with full flaps/slats/airbrakes, you can get off the ground at 80 mph (so maybe 70 nmph?)
@LieutenantSOT Thank you. Maybe I meant to put 10
True, true, lol
@LieutenantSOT I've seen updoots within mere seconds of uploading
Also, this plane is freaking awesome!
Imma take her for a spin
.
Also, I presume you meant to put 100 knots for take off speed? XD
FASTEST UPDOOT IN THE MID-SOUTH!
