RF-5 Champion
The RF-5 actually wasn't originally a fighter, it was actually an early...ish racing airplane. However it was converted into a fighter. It was designed to be a small and speedy racer. This was also a favorable fighter trait, so it was eventually converted. With the exception of the wings, I really like how this one turned out. It is a little underpowered, but I made this to be a 30’s airplane. So I guess for the time period it is alright. Hope you all like it!
