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
WOW
@Shippy456 )
YES! FoR THE FIRST TIME In ALmOsT A YEAR I HAVE BROkEN 20 UPVOTES!! ThANK YOU @RussianAS
(Edit) that’s not true. I just looked and my previous upload actually broke it XD. Still exciting tho.
What do you mean by that? @AWESOMENESS360
This is really cool! But the pitch isn’t exactly the best though. Or is it, and I’m just doing something wrong?
Np!@Shippy456
Cool! Thank you! @Hedero
Oh yes of course, the aircraft looks incredible and has a really nice amount of detail.@Shippy456
@Hedero thank you! Any feedback?
@BogdanX
@randomusername
how’s this?
SQUARE UP BOI.
Jk. @ChisP
@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.
Hmmm. I’ll think about that. @Mangled
Jealous 😂
@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.
@Omel how do you spotlight?
Heccing hecc. Am I just impatient or do my creation never get many upvotes? What am I missing?
Consider this my application. @FranzPeterSiegfried
Hmmmmm. @FranzPeterSiegfried
Is that a challenge? @FranzPeterSiegfried
Thanks @Omel !
