The Gloster Meteor was the first British Jet Fighter, sporting 2 early Whitter jet engines. The version shown here is the clipped wing version. It flies really well, but it does have small issue of that the ends of the horizontal stabilizers freak out in a turn. Also the reason I chose regular retractable gear instead of the wing is because the wing was too high.

    @SeriousFlipper4 what I did was attached the engine to a (turned on its side) pylon, then put another one a little ways down the wing, and attached the engine to the front one, and fuselage to the back and that causes it to clip. For this particular build though I used the engine from a B-52 pod I downloaded a while back.

    Awesome man your gonna be a good builder. Just step up your quality when you think your ready and you'll soar. One question: how did you get your engines inside of the fuselage?
