P-33 Torpedo plane

60 Markjn  3.9 years ago

Re-Imagining of a post WW2 torpedo plane. Wanted to see the effect of a longer fuselage and I had not built a prop plane before. When I was done it reminded me of a torpedo plane, so I added a torpedo and wing guns.
I also used tail landing gear to the front to see how they would work. I could not get them to attach to the wings, and the fuselage attachment was too narrow, so they are stuck out where they are.
I also tried rotator controlled horizontal stabilizers. I still get a spin if I hold them up at max for more then a second. Anybody know how to fix that?

My third original plane.

Thanks for reading.
