SPECIAL THANKS TO @Mustang30097 FOR HELPING WITH FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS!
My gift to everyone for gold (I'm still building another one, as per request of you guys - vote what you want in the comments), the F4F-3 Wildcat! Known as the little brother to the Hellcat, my replica features realistic landing gear (took forever), a realistic livery, and realistic flight characteristics!
NOTE: This plane is equipped with 4 .50 cals, but no Sto-Wings as the real F4F-3 didn't have them. It will achieve a realistic top speed in a straight line (takes a while though) and rolls and turns realistically!

@AstonMartin145 Ok lol
Fix the paint scheme!
@EpicPigster1 just put GYRO, put settings to something like 75,75,60 and voila a gyro
@dootdootbananabus It certainly does look really cool, but I don't know how to use gyros or make helicopter esque stuff...
@EpicPigster1 I want a V-44 "Pelican" quadrotor. It's essentially a long v-22 with 4 wings and rotors. That's all. If that is too hard, tell me
@Zerokiller3 This is painted in a livery used in the Battle of midway, loosely based off of thach's plane. F4F-3's were used in midway, as well as F4F-4's.
Why is an F4F-3 painted like an F4F-4?
@RailfanEthan Thanks dude! Btw cool beans
Sweet beans
@QingyuZhou OK! Thanks for the upvote!
Nice. Your fuselage needs to be a little bit longer
Oh @EpicPigster1
@CRJ900Pilot Yeah I know, I went more for looks not function lol
Looks good but that is not how the landing gear retreated
@TheMutePaper oh, ok then, i'll try not to mention you like that then! :)
@EpicPigster1 no problem also i really don't like getting mentioned like that most of the times

@Gemista @Tang0five @TheMutePaper thanks for the upvotes!
@Gemista Yeah, it retracts really weirdly, I wanted it to look realistic.
Very cool, but the landing gear is an it weird
