Gloster meteor
My first attempt to create a gloster meteor. It is strangely heavy in the back and i could not put on any landing gear because it would as soon as i spawned it on the airstrip, tip to backwards on its tail and gain no speed. I then tried to put a wheel on the back to hopefully solve the problem? But it only made it worse because it would take of at 70 km/h loop backwards and crash. So i decided to remove the landing gear and only spawn in the air. When in the air though it flies pretty good. Just don't turn to much ore your rudder will rip ore you will spin uncontrollably. A rating and comment would be nice. I really struggle to get as many downloads on my other planes as on this one. So please check out my other creations since i am putting alot of hard work into my other aircrafts. I need to know what i have to improve on them so please rate and post comments.

6,104 thomasjafLook is all that matter, and a tricky plane to fly is funnier than an easy one. Even if I haven't had the chance to try it, you have my approval on the look.9.8 years ago

19.3k SkipperBingLooks great but like you said, tail heavy and easy to lose control. I've modified your design to shift some weight and reduce the size of the control surfaces to make it much more steady in flight and even managed to add landing gear. I'll upload it and give you credit unless you would prefer me not to.9.8 years ago
