Douglas SBD Dauntless A-24 "Banshee" [BROKEN]

Douglas SBD Dauntless, received in the US Air force designation A-24 "Banshee", is a dive bomber the period of WWII. It is considered one of the best military aircraft of its time. It received its recognition for good aerodynamics and robust construction, allowing to perform aerobatics and conduct dogfight as a fighter. It was these aircraft that attacked the Japanese carrier group at Midway Atoll, inflicting damage from which the Imperial Navy was never able to recover. In addition, he took part in repelling the landing of Japanese troops in New Guinea, in the battles of the Coral sea, Guadalcanal, the Mariana Islands and Battle of the Atlantic. Produced and used by the United States throughout the war.

• As already mentioned, thanks to the excellent aerodynamics and robust design, this aircraft has smooth control, allowing you to perform aerobatics. A great choice if you are going to arrange an air show.
  
• It is worth mentioning that this aircraft is a reconstruction of the museum exhibit, so it does not carry course weapons and does not have a machine gun behind. But do not be upset! If you really want to get used to the role of a bomber pilot and bring a little democracy to this world, you can take a few bombs, forgotten carefully left by our mechanic, and install them under the appropriate mounts. Warning! The company Gigovan Engineering is not responsible for the damage you inflicted with the help of our technology. Have fun!
  [] The main feature of this miracle of aircraft are air brakes. Specific flaps, creating air resistance, are used for special maneuvers and simplified dive. They have huge potential. The main thing to have time to pull the control stick on itself.
  [] The 2300 l fuel tank will allow you to fly from the Mainland to the Arctic. Just remember to bring warm clothes.
  
• Under you miles, and you realize that something went wrong or you just forgot to turn off the iron at home? Look around! Behind the back of the chair is a stylish, camouflage parachute. We can only hope that you have not forgotten how to use it.
  [] Maximum 70 m / s only sounds not impressive. However, for such a small aircraft is a good result. A measly 4.5 hours and from cramped London you move in a lovely hot Barcelona. Summer holidays still can be catch up!

In the course of development, we had to face all sorts of problems. The most serious of them were the landing gear. When folded at high speeds, they were tearing away from the plane! The second engineer had to work hard to fix it. In the end, we had to choose between two evils. Because of a bug the landing gear do not work fully as have to. On the ground, the plane will glide like ice. On the other hand it will allow you to feel like a strongman, alone moving the plane with your hands.

Team Gigovan thank you for your time. We hope that you liked it and you will appreciate our work.
