The He-162 Salamander, also called "Volksjger" (People's fighter) was thinked to be a cheap and easy to produce plane. Wooden made for the most part, with one single engine instead of the two vs Me-262 and armed with two 30 mm guns. Too few and Too late to be significative, but a nice piece of tecnology.
The reproduction have a lot of difference from the original, first of all, the speed. My replica flies at mach 1.5, but I prefer a funny plane than a boring perfect replica. It's near 1:1 scale (but not perfect due to the same matter...). As long I tried, I was unable to make a perfect flying replica with the engine in the right place. So I putted the real one in the center of fuselage, and the result it's a really agile and stable model. Landing is easy, I did it on USS Beast and basically everywere.
No special AGs.
B = Brakes.
