*Author’s note: This is the first aircraft with a functional heads up display 😁 To be honest it was a pain in the ass to make it work but it was worth it. Send me suggestions to the next evolution of the T-26. Enjoy the build ;)
*Another author’s note: Can someone show me how to take pictures outside the design view? I’m on IOS
