Grumman F4F Wildcat

The Grumman F4F Wildcat is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft that began service in 1940 with both the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy where it was initially known as the Martlet. First used in combat by the British in the North Atlantic, the Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during the early part of World War II in 1941 and 1942; the disappointing Brewster Buffalo was withdrawn in favor of the Wildcat and replaced as units became available. With a top speed of 318 mph (512 km/h), the Wildcat was outperformed by the faster 331 mph (533 km/h), more maneuverable, and longer-ranged Mitsubishi A6M Zero. However, the F4F's ruggedness, coupled with tactics such as the Thach Weave, resulted in a claimed air combat kill-to-loss ratio of 5.9:1 in 1942 and 6.9:1 for the entire war.

Lessons learned from the Wildcat were later applied to the faster F6F Hellcat. While the Wildcat had better range and maneuverability at low speed, the Hellcat could rely on superior power and high-speed performance to outperform the Zero. The Wildcat continued to be built throughout the remainder of the war to serve on escort carriers, where larger and heavier fighters could not be used.

I'm back, this time I wanted to create something related to the Pacific war, so I chose to build the Wildcat fighter, this aircraft took me like.. forever to build it. I almost want to give up the project due to the scale of the aircraft, How am I supposed to create more space the landing gear?? How do I fix the overhead problem...but still, it was finished anyway. Since the aircraft is 1:1 the plane will look a bit more different compliance to the real one, such as the design of the flaps and the landing gear. I want to mention that once the power switch on the aircraft will drain up the battery very fast, so please don't turn on the light without the engine running. I really hope you enjoy flying this aircraft, and if you like it please put a thumb up to my creation!

Control:
a/d roll
w/s pitch
q/e yaw
up/down throttle

1.parking brakes
2.flaps
3.landing gear
4.fire MG


The engine is running but the aircraft is not moving (check prop pitch)
The wings are not connected after unfold it(just like the real wildcat, you need to crouch under the wings and push to lock it)
I can't get on the plane (Hold space and Ctrl)
Where do I refuel? (It's located in the right side of the landing gear)
The landing gear is glitching after spawning in the world (get under the aircraft and try grab one of the electric connectors or just spawn it in another island)
