in USA in 1952, with fuselage length 2.997m, wing span 2.814m,
and max speed 298km/h powered by a Continental C-85 modified
112-hp engine. Highly detailed model featuring propeller, ailerons,
elevators, and rudder in smooth animation. Rolling wheels with
cushioning animation on ground. Pilot head turns in sync with
left/right turns. Effective use of reflective textures for well waxed and
polished external surfaces. Handmade custom 2D panel functional
