Introduction
Developed during the later years of WWII the Rampant was an unusual canard piston powered pusher fighter. Using a RR Griffon in a center mass location and a counter rotating propellor pusher arrangement, this had both benefits for weight distribution and pilot visibility. The tricycle undercarriage also enabled easier taxiing on the ground and without the high angle of attack the pilot could actually see where he was going (unusual for the era)
Controls
VTOL dn for flaps
Everything else is standard
Weaponry
Armed in this instance with 4no. 20mm Aden cannon in the wings, the airframe could take a variety of underwing and nose mounted weaponry but this would have taken me well over the 450part limit =)

It needs more attention
Only 450 parts? That’s new! Wonderful aircraft, there aren’t enough push-props on the website IMO.
Sick ass plane! Nice job man! Keep at it.
nice design, but this thing has co much momentum that it practically Tokyo drifts through the sky
