Description
FOR VERSION 1.2!
It's now fully made of oak and some aluminium instead of mainly foam, some oak and some aluminium and it flies pretty well albeit a little like an RC-plane.

Note that this is an eary build of mine and may not be quite up to snuff in all details. To say the least. :)

I updated the look of thecannon though. :)

My take on the Messerschmitt Me 262 bomber buster.
It's an approximation, definitely not a 1:1 replica.
It's armed with one 50mm automatic cannon meant for taking out allied bombers.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.
Hold X/Invert steering: Air brakes.
Space bar: Handbrake.

If you like it check out my bomber version Sturmvogel/Stormbird and the fighter version Schwalbe/Swallow.

Notes!
This was never used in battle and only 2 (AFAIK) prototypes were made, but it's too fun not to build.
The gun fires up to 5 rounds in a salvo, then you need to release and press fire again. This is to somewhat simulate its very low ammo count of 20-30 rounds IRL, and also to avoid stacking even more heavy cannons in the front. :)
I tried to add the swiveling front wheel which was added because of the space taken up by the huge gun, but adding a rotating actuator to the landing gear sadly made it unstable and prone to "flapping" and caused the plane to turn uncontrollably on the ground.

It was sacrificed to get lift. usually in this update you get too much lift but for some reason not with this plane so had to add more (hidden) lift to the front wing which makes pulling up but especially diving a bit of a chore, sorry about that but it's the best I can do right now.

They fly pretty well, but pulling up was sacrificed for maneuverability, im guessing?

Wow nice! Finally great for this mediocre aerodynamic update!
