History (fictional):

The “Wolf Pack” project was initiated in 1942 due to the recent release of the P-38 Lightning. At the time, the P-38 was dominant in the skies due to it’s forward nacelle mounted cannons. Tuning wing guns to collide at a certain distance wasn’t an issue. It was just literally point and shoot. The Messerschmitt aircraft corporation decided to pounce on this immediately, and “improve” the P-38’s design. Production and testing was long and costly, due to the experimental nature of their jet engines. It has to sit around 3 1/2 feet behind the cockpit, including a heavily warped intake system to compensate. The prototype of the Messerschmitt 262 crafted the forward nacelle for the Wolfhound, practically, leaving enough room in the bottom for a explosive repeating cannon. And so, in November of 1944, the Messerschmitt Bf 217 Wolfhound was introduced to the German air armada.

    I forgot to mention: (I’m stupid) land CAREFULLY. I recommend approaching the runway level to it, and landing at about 290. Anything less and the plane will get unstable. The front landing gear is touchy.

    @AWESOMENESS360, sorry about that. If I tuned it for more pitch, the bounciness in the pitch became insatiable.

    @Shippy456 I mean that when I try to pitch up or down it barely moves that much, and is slow to climb

    This is really cool! But the pitch isn’t exactly the best though. Or is it, and I’m just doing something wrong?

    @Shippy456 I built an airframe. I wouldn't suggest doing that due to the sheer amount of work involved and issues you will encounter, but it's is a somewhat satisfying thing once you finish it. In the end, it all comes up to if you have the time and dedication to finish a large project.

    @Shippy456 Maybe try doing something different. You have already developed majority of the skills needed to be a great builder. That's what I did on my old account.
