A very simple propeller plane similar to WWII era fighter planes. Had to tweak the wheels in XML so that a light touch of the brakes wouldn't just throw the plane headover when braking after a landing.

This definitly has the coolest landing gears in Sp! Nice work!
@Sarpanitu of course for a totally free design I would have gone for a tricycle and made sure the CoG was way behind the forward wheel, but to make an imitation I thought it was more relevant to simply scale the brakes, rather than adding exotic components. It also behaves more naturally :p
Thank you all for your nice comments ! I'm glad you appreciate the landing gear :)
I like this plane, well done man. The body has great lines to it, and the landing gear mechanism is cool too. Nice work.
Cool gear!
Taking inspiration from the gears
Dude @Synthex4060 the way the landing gear isn't retracted is sick
Cool
