Auto Credit Based on ElGatoVolador's CARRIER PLANE CHALLENGE (Closed)
This is my entry for the carrier plane contest. I decided not to have a hinged wing, so had to get enough lift area into the small wingspan allowed. This is the result - a narrow triplane fighter, armed with 4 wing guns. It's easy enough to take off and fly, the only real flaw is that is has a tendency to fall over on landing.
