one of my best works yet. modeled after the corsair, it is an astounding sucess. with modded guns, a powerful engine, and armor good enough for a long dogfight, this aircraft blasts competition out of the skies. warning! do not make tight turns or climbs, as they will stall the aircraft. you could use that for a dogfighting advantage tho. vtol for flaps.

    Make the prop smaller but thicker and make your landing gear longer or you can put it in a part of your wings which is closer to the ground 👌🏼 Happy to help anytime! If you want me to make it fly better for you I can fix it and upload it. @communisticbanana

    @Mustang51 I had to keep weight out of the front, as then the nose would hit the ground.

    The problem with this plane is your centre of weight. If you move it forward, the plane will not stall in any tight manuvers. This is a mistake I used to make when I started building too. Good design though!
