The WWII-inspired trainer from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. On my old save, I'd take a step outside, and one of these would fly into a building and explode every time without fail. Anyway, this is my favorite plane to fly in GTA:SA, so I decided to make a replica. It was difficult to determine scale using only a model and various screenshots as a reference, but I think I managed well enough. Dimensions are within inches of correct, assuming CJ is 5'10". The handling is surprisingly tame. The whole time I was building this, I was certain it wouldn't fly great, but it turns out it's actually pretty comfy. The funniest feature here is the floating tailwheel, which is exactly what that wheel does in the game. Includes the six machineguns as well.
