Here's a video of me performing an auto water landing. It only works if you empty the tanks and infinite fuel but everything else is done without debug.

Here's a few more pictures of this planes elegant design....

See you around. OH and if you have any old style planes you want me to make, I'll try my best. This is the first time I've experimented with a plane of this shape (Wings close to front and rocket engines rather than jet).

Video's not working for me, but the plane looks real nice. Very Corsair-ish. Well done!

One moment...

Here you go. Idk why it didn't work first time.

Indeed, it does look quite like the F4U Corsair, radial engine included.

So that's the planes name... I was browsing propeller fighter plane images and I spotted that one. I've always liked the "W" shaped wings on many old fighters and so I built this one with that in mind. It's a beautiful plane.

One quick request though. Would it be possible to make a jet-driven version of this? Or even a prop-driven version using Firespitter or somesuch?

Really late edit: I'm going to try my hand at replacing the rocket engines with a single KAX radial engine. Wish me luck!

Edit again: It worked! But ironically the inline engine looked a bit better.
