hi guys, i downloaded this a/c a while ago, u probably saw my other post, anyway, i love
this plane and it was a pity that the navy opted for the wildcat instead of this babe.  The
Grumman Skyrocket was developed just before WW2 and was the first twin engine Navy
fighter.  It had awesome performance for its day, it was fast (exceeded 450mph in a dive)
and could outclimb a Corsair.  Carrier pilots loved it because the contra-rotating props 
eliminated torque effects on takeoffs and landings.  Unfortunately, the Navy thought it was
too heavy for carrier ops and opted to mass produce the single engine F4F. This FSDS2
Project includes full moving parts (tail hook, canopy, ailerons etc...)custom panel and
specular shine, repaint based on a "what if" the navy had chosen this aircraft instead of
the wildcat....the rest is history.

i uploaded the skyrocket here. enjoy Wink
