History:
Captured He 162 120230 in France, brought to the US by Operation Lusty
The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger (German, "People's Fighter") was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft fielded by the Luftwaffe in World War II. Developed under the Emergency Fighter Program, it was designed and built quickly and made primarily of wood as metals were in very short supply and prioritized for other aircraft. Volksjäger was the Reich Air Ministry's official name for the government design program competition won by the He 162 design. Other names given to the plane include Salamander, which was the codename of its wing-construction program, and Spatz ("Sparrow"), which was the name given to the plane by the Heinkel aviation firm.

Specification:
Top Speed 490mph
Landing 120-150 mph
Take off 165 mph
Stall 120 mph
Building Notes:
The wing span of this plane is very short and I keep wing specs as close as possible to the real one. I did not make the wings bigger to please while landing. Instead, I keep it close to the original proportions. Combine effect with the very narrow landing gear span, I find this plane quite challenging on landing. I did not add the gyroscope as well. All are balanced by physical weight only.
Keep the nose up at takeoff until it reaches 300 mph or more.
.
Strict Landing Speed:
Landing speed is strict at 120-140 mph. This fighter is very fragile and you need to take a lot of care. Short stubby wings have very low stall capability, so take care pilot!
2x nouse-mounted 20mm cannons
Custom landing gear, which operates in the same folding style as the real one

@XMIndustries thanks, there are some flaws to edit and update later. But there is a deadline for this challenge so I posted it.
Wow this is impressive comparing this to the test flight without an engine which was just a simple fuselage to a detailed body. Nice.
This plane is a bit... Woody

@Rework Sorry this plane is so bitchy at landing as I keep the wings specs as close as possible to the real one. I did not make the wings bigger to please while landing, instead I keep it close to the original proportions, so the landing gear are very narrow too.
@Rework Thank you!
Fricking amazing
