I tried to adjust the traction to make the brakes work better, but the truck is really heavy (weight added to create a low Center of mass) so the brakes just don’t stand a chance.

@ChiChiWerx Honestly I think the best way to learn how to build the wings is to take them apart. You'll find that they are really quite simple. The front are a few short fuselage blocks that make up the leading edge of the wing. Then it levels out with a block that is a perfect square/ rectangle, this gives a good transition to the next section. The trailing edge is just a few blocks that have a bit of "rise" so that the bottom stays flat and the top slopes down towards the trailing edge.
As for building the plane itself, I used the fine tuning mod. I built the plane about three times larger than I wanted it to be, then scaled it down. This allowed me to make the plane very light.
@kingofcreepers Because I wanted them. I know they are not accurate, but I liked the idea of being able to taxi around on land. You can land the plane on them, but that was not my true intention for them.
@electronmember1 When you are going to land move the Vtol slider all the way down. Drop the throttle to 0-8% and let the plane touch the ground/water at around 80 Mph. when you do touch the water/land, pull up on the elevator as hard as you can, this should keep the nose of the plane up and prevent it from flipping. I find that reducing the throttle to zero and letting the plane glide down on its own is easiest. Practice makes perfect!
@TTHHSSSS I think I will. As soon as Ive saved up some money that is. I recently got my first car so any money ive got is going towards that at the moment.
@TTHHSSSS Nice! Ive always had an interest in FPV racing. I myself have a decent sized collection of RC vehicles. Several planes, a boat and three cars/trucks. No FPV vehicles though.
@Brields95 Thanks. Ive always done my best to make my planes fly well, it may be unrealistic, but I find that it is much more fun to to fly an agile, responsive plane rather than one that flies like an overloaded bag of rocks.
@EaglesAbove The B-36 is done. I think it turned out pretty well, unfortunately I had to leave out a lot of small details, such as lettering, because of the large parts count. It was starting to slow down my computer.
@EaglesAbove @NativeChief1492 Thanks for your suggestions, Ive started work on a B-36, but it has turned out to be a massive project. I will definetely finish it soon. I will probably also build a Beech 18 in both land and water configurations.
@BogdanX Thank you! I tried to make the tail as realistic as I could while still maintaing the performance of the aircraft. I found that if I changed the size it drastically impacted the performance of the plane, so I decided to chose performance over perfect scale.
@Sunnyskies I finished it a little early, lots of rainy weather and nothing else to do.

@ChiChiWerx You caught me! Yes I doubled the engines (Did the same thing on the P-47), I placed two engines side by side and nudged them into position. The engine wrap was a round fuselage block nudged inside and then nudged upwards so that it stuck out of the engine and created the colouring.
I was glad to see my plane on this list, and with such a high rating! That was my first replica aircraft ever, and I have to admit it leaves a lot to be desired, Since then I have learned a few skills, one being the nudge buttons, I didn't know about them when building that plane. I think I might go back and try to remodel the plane and release a better version. Thank you for taking the time to review my plane and the many others (this list is huge!).
Okay. Originally I did have the insgnia on the bottom of the wing, but the angle didnt line up so it was not anywhere near level with the wing. I will try painting them the colour of the wing, I had not thought of that. It is a good Idea.
@ChiChiWerx Thank you. Those are some great suggestions and I will take note for future builds. I was aware that the insignia is only on the left wing, but when I did that the plane pulled hard in that direction and flew absolutely horrible. I could not find a way to fix the issue so unfortunately I had to put the insignia on both wings. I would greatly appreciate it if you know how to and/or could fix the issue.

I took a break from the game for a while so I could focus more on school. @Aerobako
@Awsomur Ah, Yes. Now I have found them. Thanks for the reply.
Where are the WWII battleships located in sandbox mode?

Thanks!

@BaconAircraft
Thanks!
@A3
@ChiChiWerx
@GreenMountainBoy
Thanks!
@CRJ900Pilot Me too! I have set location spawnpoints on both of them!
@DJPollo
Thanks! I might make a buggy, currently I have an ultralight and monster truck on the way.
@AdrianFlyingAce You're right... oops. At least you can still use the link to find my original truck.
@vonhubert Thanks, That is what I was going for. I really enjoy driving it through the deserts of maywar.
@emptybox
Thanks!
@aircraftarsenal123
I can make that happen.

@ACMECo1940 The navy used both the land and sea variants. They did have a few different colour schemes though, all were very similar.
@TTHHSSSS I think I will. As soon as Ive saved up some money that is. I recently got my first car so any money ive got is going towards that at the moment.
@TheNightmare811 Thanks!

@TTHHSSSS Thanks. If you dont mind me asking, is that your quadcopter in your profile picture?
@NativeChief1492 No problem.
@GrahamSimmons Thanks.

@JMicah4 That would be cool! To be honest I don't mind anybody doing anything with my planes just as long as they don't claim its their own.

Thanks for your feedback.
@arcues yup.

@InternationalAircraftCompany Thanks!
@ChiChiWerx Thanks. I tried to make it detailed and realistic without going overboard on the parts count.
@ChiChiWerx You caught me! Yes I doubled the engines (Did the same thing on the P-47), I placed two engines side by side and nudged them into position. The engine wrap was a round fuselage block nudged inside and then nudged upwards so that it stuck out of the engine and created the colouring.
@Sunnyskies I'm working on an updated version now. You can probably expect to see it later next week.

The engine power can be adjusted if you feel the need for more...
