UPDATED. The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe (English: "Swallow") of Nazi Germany was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Heavily armed, it was faster than any other Allied fighters. The Me 262 was used in a variety of roles, including light bomber, reconnaissance, and even experimental night fighter versions.

She handles very well in flight but for some reason has difficulty taking off.

VERSION 2 IS NOW AVAILABLE!!!!

    I had just realized how to download planes, and found this one on top of the newest section, what luck! Anyways, I never downloaded it until a few days later because I had awful network on the road. It's truly amazing to see how far peoe have come!

    It was my first uploaded replica. My first plane was a very small prop plane that I've since deleted off my device. @DragonCreations

    Fair enough but you can get away without them... I need modded fuel and such to balance out all my weirdly shaped fictional replicas..

    I got nothing against them or builders that use modded parts, but I just feel like it takes the challenge away. So far I've just been a replica builder, and that's because I like the challenge of taking an existing plane, that has established designs and specifications, and recreating it in a game that limits you with rudimentary building blocks and the like. It's difficult and rewarding. I want to make clear that I don't see modded parts as cheating. In fact it's impressive how people are able to edit the game's code to make what they want; it's way above my technical prowess and understanding. But I do feel as though using modded parts is akin to taking the easy way out. To me, half the fun of this game is the constant trial and error of getting aesthetic shapes, implementing sufficient thrust, and establishing good flight characteristics using only the items supplied. That being said, I've seen some fantastic planes that used modded pieces, and I enjoyed flying them. However, I must say I am a little worried that future updates might make building pieces more and more customizable. This isn't necessarily a bad progression and it may open the door to many exciting possibilities, but it'll take away the challenge and appreciation people have towards other's builds. Anyway, those are my thoughts on the matter. @Zing2000

    This was the first replica plane I made. I didn't know about part clipping when I was make my first few planes. @Epyx

    Is this the first plane you made? I can see a slight difference in this when compared to some of you other planes.
