@zed wah
@M4A1Sherman76mm Make one, quite easy
Awesome I always wanted one of these planes in my Arsenal
I like it!
Although a lil off on the details, it's P-38 enough for me~ I love twin boom aircraft!
@Stampede You can see here that the mass balances are firmly attached to the root of the elevator. Their entire purpose is to reduce flutter, shift the center of mass on the elevator to make it easier for the pilot to move it, and to provide counteraction on positive G influence on the surface, improving dive recovery. You must have seen some weird pictures.
@Stampede I was talking about the elevator mass weights. Those knobs on the tail that provide counterbalance on the elevator. I think you modeled them well, though they should be closer to the actual control surface.
Not bad. I like the mass weights.
Nice Plane :)!
