P-38 Lightning. Now that I've had a little feedback and some more time to play with the plane, I felt like I needed to make a few tweaks. Landing gear is a little lower to help reduce tail strikes on takeoff. While not completely eliminated, it is easier to takeoff now. Also, the control surfaces were too big and would cause the plane to go into a flat spin too easily.

    If you turn the rear landing gear around it will help with tail strikes

    @AndrewGarrison Huh, that's weird. No, it wasn't. Don't know why it's coming up related to the KAS.QJ.1. I posted this one over a month ago and the KAS was only 8 days ago, and it's not even mine. Weird

    Was the KAS.QJ.1 really the predecessor for this airplane?
