Auto Credit Based on AntiAirNuri's Alpine Aircraft Challenge
Origionally built in Finland as a high-speed racer, the T - 50 was one of the fastest and most agile aircraft of the 1st alpine squadron, designed for the pilot to lie nearly flat inside, and rely on cameras for vision. while 3 were converted from floatplanes to landcraft, and had 3 202.cal machine guns attached ( 1 in each wheel spat and one in the prop. hub ), only one took off before the gestapo seized the other two. its pilot was Niko Koskinen, who would fly with the group till the end of hostilities. when taking off in the T - 50, remember to use the trim tab set fully down, and enjoy this simple interceptor i built based off of a floatplane!

Thanks, I personally thought it glided OK, but after more testing I understand the issues about that now. Maybe a landing chute would be useful?
Review
Not bad! Not bad! The take-off speed is alright, the aircraft flies well, and the cockpit-less design is something I really enjoy! Furthermore, landing gears are very strong, but the plane suffers in terms of low-speed gliding and short landings. In fact, it can't land on the Tiny, and neither on the Alpine Ramp, designed to increase the landing strip in a short span of terrain. My problem is that the plane just doesn't fly at low speeds. And maneuverability. Needs more lift, which would solve both problems. Not bad though
Anti thx 4 upvote :)
