Since the XR-3 bears a lot of resemblance to WWII fighters, such as the Sea Fury and the Corsair, I decided to do a redesign as a 1940's era naval fighter.

As with the original, take-off power should be between 30-40%, with steady pull on the stick.

When landing, use those air brakes (VTOL UP) to get the tail to drop.

Stall speed is around 90mph.

AG-1 drops fuel pods.

HAPPY FLYING!
