Silver Special Gloster Meteor

25.3k Rymanx03  6.0 years ago

Yesterday, You helped me reach silver status. That's awesome! However, I plan on doing something special for you guys whenever I reach a milestone of any type. Making the connection? Good. Lately I was looking at planes, and noticed, Hey, there's not many of these built really well here, so guess what? I made the Gloster Meteor, made after WW2. It didn't see any action during the Big One, as America didn't have the tech yet. Germany had it, and was putting it to use with their ME 262 fighter jets, used just before the end of the war. There were others, like the kite (just a slang for it) which didn't have a proper tail section. Just a rudder. Anyhoo, a quick history leson. Normal plane controls, be careful, it will stall in quick turns. DO NOT USE VTOL WITH AG7 ACTIVATED! It will turn the rockets, and muck up the whole flight. Burns through fuel quickly, so flight time is short. And lastly, THANK YOU for getting me here. Here's your prize.
