PLEASE READ FOR INSTRUCTIONS, NO XML WAS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AIRCRAFT. Hello everyone! This is a project I've been working on for the past few days. I won't say I've perfected it, but it is certainly great! The nose still isn't the way I wanted it, but the body still looks fantastic. 1 to drop fuel tanks, 2 to activate flaps. This aircraft sadly only goes about half the speed of the real deal D:. I tried really hard to get more power to the engines, but I never could. thank you for viewing this aircraft! Please leave a comment of any flaws in the design or anything else. Also, if you like it please leave an upvote! THANK YOU!!! :D

    An improvement. Still retains a poor pitch rate. The roll rate is about perfect. And the top speed isn't as bad as you think it is. It's only slightly underpowered (the top speed for the P-38 is obtained with dropped fuel tanks and minimal drag at an altitude of 15,000ft). Also, The flaps kind of push the wings a little bit when they are actuated. There's a multitude of tiny details I could nitpick, but overall, this is pretty good.
