This is my second replica! This is based off of the United States XF8B built by Boeing! It could be used as a fighter, interceptor, dive bomber, torpedo bomber, or level bomber. Sadly it was only a prototype and only three versions of this plane were created!
I recommend landing at around 130-150 mph but a very important part is when you touch down do not brake until the back wheel has touched down then hold pitch down and brake! I would love to here what you think of it!
