Studied ie “let’s see what this button does” *boom*
The allies discovered fuel injection versus a carburetor in the Messerschmitt. Fuel injection allowed for better turning ratios and the ability to fly upside down for longer periods.
jeez i watched the loop 6 times imagining the acceleration
The Nazi regime was pure evil, but the Germans built some really good planes during WWII. I have a model of a Bf109-G somewhere.
I did leave the swastikas off the finished build.
Weird that the landing gear stanced like that.
German engineering is definitely a thing. It’s a shame that such good minds were pressed into service, or went along willingly to advance the aims of such foul and repugnant ideology. Resistance is a lot harder to mount when fear of your own death is wielded as a very real motivational tool.
