Description
The Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender was a prototype American fighter during World War II. It was built in response to a request from the USAAC for a fighter with improved visibility and performance capabilities, where it competed against the Vultee XP-54 and the Northrop XP-56. The XP-55 sported an unusual design for the time, and was sarcastically named the "Aśś-Ender".

Note:

Wait for the aircraft to gain speed on the ground before taking off

My apologies, I haven't taken a look at your steam submissions! Anyways, good luck on your builds!

@Deathslayer123, Thanks! It's off balance because the recent update fixed weight bugs involving scaling blocks, hence the imbalance, and I haven't bothered to fix it yet. As for that F-86, I'll put it on my list, but I have a few more I'm planning on making first. I also have much more than 2 planes <.<

I love the unique design and flight characteristics, and the only complaint I have is that it is a little nose heavy but it's not a big deal at all. I think it is a joy to fly and one of my favorite planes of all. I also have a request: could you build an F-86 Sabre? I know the only two planes that you have are propellor driven but having a wonderful jet design would be fantastic. Keep up the awesome work!
