This aeroplane is the test subject for my Trim Test Gauge.
It was released quite a few years ago and has a basic non-jittery SCASM cockpit but that is all.
The Aeroplane has no significant bleeds and the general shape is fairly accurate so after the Warhawks, this may be the next subject for rework.
Since it was first built and released, I have gotten a little smarter with Aircraft Factory 99 and a whole lot smarter with SCASM, so this will be interesting.
There will be some new pieces added but I believe the Antenna Wires will not be staying. They are a bit distracting.
The AIR file definitely needs a bit of a rework, mostly for engine tuning.
I didn't have much information to work with when I first built this, but have found a Pilot's Manual for the La-5FN and a few flight evaluations by the Germans and also have an engine manual for the Shvetsov ASh-82FN motor that is installed in this aeroplane. The manual is in Russian but hopefully I can read enough to get what I need.

P.S. Much of this Aeroplane's structure is Wood, so there will certainly be a bit of time needed by the technicians to become familiar with the different techniques.
