You will laugh, but after airborn has been in development for quite a while we searched for a lot of interesting real designs for planes and found this one

Description

This time our update shows the rework of Pinos messengerplane called Sparrow.
The new version has a lot more functionality to it, working landing gear, rudders, a saddle you can open, a secondary seat, some extras for gameplayfeatures like mines and such.
But they really work, not in a sense that some of those things could not be rotated before, but in a way that we are going ro print and cast this one which eats most of the time of the current redesign process.

still quite a few things missing anyways here is an older shot showing some of the functionality

those green things are AAA batteries, see the hole in the wing? Thats where the wires for the propellers will go through :)
