@TheHaggisBasher Horsa Glider, why not the Brits did! Wonder Chaps! ( Not the Cowboy kind, unless you're into that stuff)
@AceMcCloud no like I mean could you build a horsa glider
@TheHaggisBasher Waco CG-4 Glider - I should've put that in the title...so incredibly sorry.
Horsa glider???
Love it good job and I also love gliders
@Hayhayjam664, sure, but the Waco CG-4 did not airdrop anything by parachute--you need to lift the nose to unload the cargo! The whole CONOPs for the combat gliders was that you did not drop by parachute, instead landing in remote areas, but keeping all the troops in the back (and the pilots, who became infantry upon landing) in one unit instead of spread all over the countryside. So it wouldn't be in keeping with the real thing, though, I will admit, it is always cool to airdrop things out of airplanes in SP.
If you added parachutes you could’ve dropped the pjeep from the sky
Nice build! All American
you built the jeep first then started to build the glider around it ? amazing
This is great. The jeep looks fantastic. Great work.
