Auto Credit Based on MrTyTheGreat's Fieseler Storch
The Fieseler Fi-156 "Storch" was a two-seat German STOL aircraft built by Fieseler from 1937 to 1949. The aircraft is famous for having very good STOL performance. The aircraft proved its abilities in Operation Eiche, 1943, where it famously rescued Benito Mussolini from a mountain top.
Boring history aside, I tried to replicate the actual performance of this plane in SimplePlanes, and it's as close as I could get it.
Controlling:
Stall Speed: 25mph
Max Speed: ~90mph
Takeoff Speed: ~45mph
VTOL: Flaps
Tested on LOW physics setting.

@ShiptyTheLucario true, though I have found like 2-3 of these things.
This is good I can use it for relax flying
Takes off at 40 mph
This is beyond science
I would love to see one in real life!
@ShiptyTheLucario
Not all Storchs had them, and turrets are pretty much useless in game.
why is everyone forgetting the rear mounted MG-15
@EternalDarkness
Thanks. Probably should've spent more time on the elevators, but I'm really bad at wings, so the tips are as good as they can get for now. I don't think that the wing loading is accurate, because about 4 wings on this don't produce any lift at all. I really just went for a similar STOL performance that was fun to fly. Thanks for the feedback, however, it does help!
Nice looking build, but not quite Fi-156. Window panels of Fi-156 extend beyond trailing edges of wings, wingtips are more rounded, and so are elevator tips, and it's smaller. Also, wing loading is 10% of what it should be and drag is, I believe, way too high.

If found that STOLs are the only shape of airplane that I can build. :P
Nice!
I am a simple man, If it’s STOL, I Spotlights@MrTyTheGreat
Thanks! @Chancey21
