Hi guys! I wanted to share with you my 1:1 replica of a Hawker Tempest V, matched right down to the wingspan! If you like it - upvote it! :-)
Some features of this plane (screenshots available here: http://imgur.com/a/Opn2h ) include fuselage-built ailerons, split-surface flaps descending from the lower side of the wing only, multi-part landing gear that descend/retract asymetrically (and with a 15 degree rotation) just like the real aircraft, and guns set to fire at convergence.
ACTION GROUPS:
1. Engine toggle
2. Lighting toggle
8. Tailwheel lock
I tried my best to match the Tempest's real performance in terms of speed, manoeuvrability and climb, however the fuselage-built wings add so much drag it unfortunately was either overpowered for climb or underpowered for top speed. I've come to a happy medium, representing a very quick aircraft (as you'd expect from 2400hp turning a 14 foot propeller!) at low altitudes, however it does have a slight tendency to "helicopter"!
Flaps are decorative only in this version, as the aircraft has a very low stall speed without them. They are built with two separately hinged sections, just as in the real Tempest.
MORE INFO AND SCREENSHOTS COMING SOON.

@Zerokiller3 Same Here.
Where is the 47mm? I need it to kill that tank convoy
@ChiChiWerx I scaled the actual wings (not the fuselage wings) to be extremely thin, which means the flaps visually deflect very little. They're contained within the fuselage wings. :-)
@ZeroKiller3 keep an eye on my profile, the 47mm-armed Vickers P will be up soon.
Thanks for the kind comments everyone!
Pardon: "...but where did you put the ailerons???"
The detail and thought that went into this is considerable...I noticed you even staggered the landing gear retraction/extension, just like a real WWII airplane. I did the same on my B-24 and C-47, but doubt anyone noticed. But where did you put the flaps???
very nice like it could you build me a spitfire note it does have to be mobile friendly but i feel you could easlly make one also maybe a geman plane to have dog fights with but mainly the spitfire
Awesome men!
You got a Follower!
Finally some one under stands that landing gear fold up un semtricly
I need the one with the 37mms
THIS MODEL IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody well done man
@AndrewGarrison
FEATURE THIS PLEASE!
Great job!
Great quality and flies well. I really like the assymetrical gear and correct wings. Cockpit is nice too.
