This is a WWII era pusher fighter plane. Yes I know, it does like to pitch down, but I couldn't get that to stop. If anyone could fix that I would be happy to see it! The plane first flight was on July 19, 1943. The plane was cancelled in the flight test stage. One of the planes first flights was a disaster, it crashed into the ground but the pilot lived after ejecting himself from the cockpit.
