Auto Credit Based on QuiteInactiveWhiteBread's Finish the build CHALLENGE

this plane is a german ground attack aircraft that was supposed to be one of the german wunderwaffen ( wonder weapons). its was supposed to have 4 25mm cannons that are capable of shredding any tank. it was considered to be elite but during testing it fail miserably with the flight characteristics being so bad that out of 10 prototypes only one survived, being the last one made before the program shutdown. but during testing the engine was more that powerful to help it to maneuver quickly ( and that was the problem it moved way to quickly in a turn). so yea it isnot really that good i dont expect to win. so some problems that i don't know how to fix, its kinda figity in the air ( to much of an imput and it goes out of control), its landing gear are horrible ( the front one wobbles on the ground and i dont know why). so tose were the problems. i had a pretty good idea for this but it did not turn out lkle i wanted. one thing if you use trim for turning it works way better that the actual stick. enjoy

    @Panthers4741 hey so 1k left til I do my first challenge!! And this is a plane that's bad. I might have to scrap the airliner I'm doing it's not working out no matter what I do. Its just not working, I might put a gyro in it just to make it more stable but if it doesn't work then its being thrown out the window.

    @BigChunguss from the back It looks like a green sausage. I tried but everything wasn't going my way same with another plane I'm making.
