INTRODUCTION
The Polikarpov Po-2 (also U-2, for its initial uchebnyy, 'training', role as a flight instruction aircraft) served as an all-weather multirole Soviet biplane, nicknamed Kukuruznik (Russian: ??????????, NATO reporting name "Mule"). The reliable, uncomplicated design of the Po-2 made it an ideal trainer aircraft, as well as doubling as a low-cost ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, psychological warfare and liaison aircraft during war, proving to be one of the most versatile light combat types to be built in the Soviet Union.As of 1978 it remained in production for a longer period of time than any other Soviet-era aircraft.

@EternalDarkness Thank you for telling me the issues
Very nice looking build, though performance could use a bit more work. It rolls to the left quite a bit, especially at low speed, and wheel brakes don't seem to work, meaning that the plane takes half a mile to stop when landing. It's also a bit nose-heavy. Other than that, beautiful.
@EternalDarkness yeah fair enough
@SirDino4t7 I don't think so. Po-2 is famously docile, easy to fly plane. While there should be a bit of torque from the engine, it's not a Merlin V12. There's not enough power to cause that much torque. And the real one does have wheel brakes, judging by some videos I've seen.
Again, I like this build, and I'm still occasionally enjoying it, but those are indeed flaws.
@EternalDarkness It makes it feel more realistic in my opinion

@MrCOPTY I'm sorry, I was just inspired by your craft, I'll put credit into the description
@PapaKernels Thank You very much!
One of the only Russian aircraft I actually like. Very good looking aircraft for so little parts. Very nice job
