Auto Credit Based on AntiAirNuri's Alpine Aircraft Challenge

A late war fighter, the Falken FK-23 was nicknamed Dardo by it’s pilots because of it’s speed an maneouvrability, being the main fighter for the Felkan Air force from 1943 until 1951, until the new jet age made it obsolete. Controls are: AG-1 Drag Chute, AG-2 Eject, AG-3 Pilot Parachute and AG-8 Lights. Sorry for the bad format, I’m on mobile and still haven’t figured out how to make a good post.

    Aircraft has good low-speed handling, flies well, and meets most standards. The design is very unique, and the landing gear doors are new to me. I like the creativity and the bold design, but I am very disappointed in the gear's performance. It breaks easily, they are not tall enough to avoid propellers touching the ground, and it's hard to land on rough terrains without the propellers blowing up. Furthermore, armament is sufficient, speed is excellent, but I suggest some reworking on the landing apparatus.

    Yep, just tested it, that only happens on low physics quality.

    That’s strange, it doesn’t happen to me, maybe it’s because of your physics quality? @ThisSnowyKid
