TAKES OFF ON ITS OWN AT 177 MPH
*HIGH OR LOW QUALITY *The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe ("Swallow") was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. It was produced in World War II and saw action starting in 1944 as a multi-role fighter/bomber/reconnaissance/interceptor warplane for the Luftwaffe. Allied pilots referred to it as the "Blow Job". The Me 262 had a negligible impact on the course of the war due to its late introduction, with 509 claimed Allied kills (although higher claims are sometimes made against the loss of about 100 Me 262s).Design and developmentHans Guido Mutke's Me 262A on display at the Deutsches Museum

    Looks like a 262 when I first saw it,but it would look better if u didn't place an intake in front of the engines...keep up the with the builds

    I would drop the whole middle upper row to flatten out the profile, and give it at bubble canopy with a backwards cockpit adjoined to the front one. One great resource i use often is www.the-blueprints.com. Just search your craft and im sure there are plenty of blueprints for it. Then compare the wing profiles to get it as close as possible to the original. The wingspan is almost perfect in this build but the length is a little too much. Its hard to get scale just right(most of mine are way off) but you tend to create your own while balancing the look of it. A great start to building and i think it flies great. One improvement would be the pitching, increase the size of the elevators width and depth to improve performance. One thing that doesnt work to scale on actual builds is the flap sizes, you just have to make them work in the game rather than match them to the actual size. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions. Keep up the good work!
