This is a 96 parts build with full VR (and also, still an AI compatible) plane that I am posting to honor those who join my 100 parts VR challenge.


History:

The Yakovlev Yak-17 (USAF/DOD designation Type 16, NATO reporting name Feather) was an early Soviet jet fighter. It was developed from the Yak-15, the primary difference being tricycle landing gear. The trainer version, known as the Yak-17UTI (NATO reporting name Magnet), was the only Soviet jet trainer of the 1940s. Both aircraft were exported in small numbers and the Yak-17 was soon replaced by the far superior Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 beginning in 1950.

Armament:

2 × 23 mm (0.91 in) Nudelman-Suranov NS-23K autocannon
6x unguided rockets for air to surface/ground attacks

Top speed 500 mph. Air brakes apply when the landing gears down.
