Micro Grumman F6F Hellcat mk2 (Entry to WalrusAircraft's Micro Planes competition)
The second version of my Micro Hellcat! This one cruises easily at 425 mph (680 kph). It is HIGHLY recomended that takeoff be performed from Bandit, as atempting to take off from any other airport will result in rapid upward pitching, leading to either a stall of flat spin. Any extreme manuvers between 0 and 200 mph may result in a flat spin. Changes: Lenghened fuselage to allow for addition of the new cockpit in the front, which was nesesary to add this as a succesor to the competition craft, lenghened cockpit to make it more realistic, added extra guns. To build this I started with Walrus's Zero, modified the tail section to fit the plan of the Hellcat. I modified the tailfins and rudder to be more acurate. I striped off the existing wings and made my own, adjusting them to be as acurate as posible. NOTE: on takeoff, the aircraft may bump around a little, try to keep it as level as posible untill about 150 mph, at which point you should pull up slightly, not exceding 30degrees elevation. This design uses a modded engine, but can be used without any mods on your end.

Amazing!
@simplebuilder check out my newest plane upload. I put it up there for you to take.
@simplebuilder that's odd. I'm not the person to talk to about that, you should head to the forums or the subreddit and ask someone there what you should do. I'm assuming by your description that you're on android, in which case i cant help you at all. I use only ios.
@Static for some reason I can't update it just says open and uninstall
@simplebuilder if you want some inspiration before updating, i can upload one of my old jets and let you do whatever you want with it.
Nice fix to your mk1 I'm still a rookie builder
