Not all aircraft are so equipped. None of the land-based aircraft have this feature, and many carrier-borne planes, such as the SBD Dauntless or the F4F-3 were also not historically equipped with folding wings. We do not recommend using this feature while airborne.  That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it once. Or twice. \u003cbr\u003e• Change seat position: this key toggles the pilot’s seat height between two presets: high and low. This feature is intended for use during take-offs and landing to help look over the aircraft’s nose. High position should not be used in combat as it prevents you from using your gunsight. You must open your canopy first before raising your seat. This function ONLY works on the A6M Zero, F4U Corsairs and F4F\/FM Wildcat series of planes. All other planes did not have seat systems that could be controlled by pilot inflight. \u003cbr\u003e• Arrestor Hook: toggles your aircraft arresting hook between the up and down positions.

Otherwise a heavy aircraft, especially carrying extra fuel or ordnance, may not be able to reach sufficient speed if it begins moving before reaching max RPM. This is especially true for slow moving or stationary carriers, as their speed is added to your plane’s speed during take-off. In other words, an aircraft carrier moving at 20 miles per hour adds 20 mph to your airspeed even when you remain stationary with your engine off. If the carrier however is not moving, it means you need to reach an even higher speed before you run out of deck. You’re not required to use chocks, and can release them at any time and simply use wheel brakes, however chocks provide much better control over your aircraft’s speed when you increase RPM.  After landing on a carrier, if you wish to watch other AI or human-controlled planes land, move to the front of the ship and engage chocks. Otherwise the motion of the ocean may cause your plane to slide and fall overboard. \u003cem\u003e(Il2 Aircraft Guide)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"COBI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58457111920721,"sku":null,"price":48.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/3575\/7137\/files\/5729-box-front-72dpi-1200px-RGB.jpg?v=1764969283"},{"product_id":"cobi-messerschmitt-bf-109-g-fighter-set-5870","title":"COBI Messerschmitt BF 109 G Fighter : Set #5870","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAviation classics in your collection: Bf 109 G model in 1:48 scale.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGo back to World War II and create a model of one of the most famous fighters in the history of aviation!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel in 1:48 scale:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt consists of 125 precise elements that allow for a faithful reproduction of the legendary Bf 109 G - one of the most famous aircraft from World War II.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBf 109 G - Aviation icon:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bf 109 G was one of the most important combat aircraft of World War II, used by the German Luftwaffe in many key battles, including the Battle of Britain.

What's more, in the tropical versions, the cooling system was changed, adapting it to the hot climate of North Africa.

Its advanced design and performance made it a dangerous opponent in air combat. Despite limitations in armament and production, the MC.202 went down in history as a symbol of Italian aviation engineering during the war. Now this legend of the Italian sky is available in a block version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of 404 elements, the plane introduces a breath of Mediterranean freshness to the COBI collection. The model has camouflage from the theater of operations in the Mediterranean basin. Using durable and permanent prints, green spots were applied to the sand base, blurring the silhouette of the machine in the air. The fighter has a folding landing gear, movable flaps and a perfectly reproduced figure of an Italian pilot can be placed under the removable cockpit canopy. The plane has a standard display stand with the name and a transparent pilar, thanks to which the plane looks like it’s flying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Macchi MC.202 was a development of the earlier MC.200 Saetta model, which needed an upgrade. Designer Mario Castoldi used the Daimler-Benz DB 601Aa engine, which significantly improved the plane's performance compared to its predecessor. The MC.202 prototype flew on August 10, 1940. Serial production began in 1941 and the first planes were delivered to line units the same year. The MC.202 was widely used in the African campaign where it posed a serious threat to Allied fighters. Its speed and maneuverability were on par with the Spitfires and P-40 Warhawks it encountered in combat. After the fall of North Africa the MC.202 was used to defend Italian territory from Allied air raids and in combat over Sicily. The MC.202 also served in the Balkans and in the defense of Rhodes. The aircraft was very agile, making it a formidable opponent in air combat, and its strong and solid fuselage structure allowed it to survive in difficult combat conditions. The aircraft was not without its flaws, however. Relatively light armament compared to Allied fighters in the form of 12.7 mm machine guns was less effective than the cannons mounted on many Allied and German fighters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e404 high-quality elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured in the EU by a company with over 35 years of tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe blocks meet the safety standards of products for children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully compatible with other brands of construction blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlocks with prints do not scratch or smear and do not fade during play or under the influence of temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay stand containing a nameplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale 1:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e_________________________________________________________\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eScale:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cb\u003e1:35\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLength:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cb\u003e10.4\"\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWidth\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cb\u003e13.0\"\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cb\u003e4.9\"\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNumber of blocks:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cb\u003e404\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNumber of figures:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAge group\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cb\u003e7\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e_______________________________________________________\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003eEngine: RA 1000 RC41-1. \u003cbr\u003ePower: Indicated: 1,175 HP; \u003cbr\u003eAdvantages: \u003cbr\u003e• Good flight characteristics.  \u003cbr\u003e• High maneuverability.  \u003cbr\u003e• Good cockpit visibility.  \u003cbr\u003e• Easy to fly. \u003cbr\u003eArmament: \u003cbr\u003e• 2 x 12.7 mm. \u003cbr\u003eDisadvantages: \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e• Weak Armament. \u003cem\u003e(Il2 Aircraft Guide)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"COBI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59145607250001,"sku":null,"price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/3575\/7137\/files\/5760-box-front-72dpi-1200px-RGB.jpg?v=1772192196"},{"product_id":"cobi-lockheed-p-38-lightning-h-fighter-set-5763","title":"COBI Lockheed P-38 Lightning (H) Fighter : Set #5763","description":"\u003cp\u003eA new version of the Lockheed P-38H Lightning aircraft from COBI - an icon of World War II in a scale of 1:32 and a new color!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lockheed P-38H Lightning set returns to the offer from COBI in a scale of 1:32, in a new color and with more elements - a real treat for lovers of aviation history and block modeling!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P-38H model in a new version from COBI is more than just a model - it is an invitation to a journey through time that takes us to the 1930s, when Clarence \"Kelly\" Johnson designed this unique fighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P-38H was one of the key American aircraft during World War II, famous for its unusual design, including its double fuselage.

With the possible exception of the 1943 G-6, you will never feel inferior to any contemporary enemy fighter in your new 109 model. The same engagement strategies apply here as to the Franz and Emil. Feel free to enter an angles fight with the enemy if you feel confident enough. If you’re looking for an easy victory, stay above 450 km\/h in a fight and attack the enemy in 500 km\/h+ dives and you should be able to defeat almost any opponent. \u003cbr\u003e• 109’s armament is always enough to bring down a fighter, but can sometimes be a bit insufficient against better armored bombers like the IL-2. When you know you’ll have to face targets like that make sure to grab underwing gun pods, or a 30mm MK-108 cannon in the nose. With the gunpods or the MK-108 you will bring down any target with a single accurate burst. \u003cbr\u003e• 109 is not a very stable gunnery platform under 350 km\/h and you may find your aim getting thrown off and your rounds scattering too much when firing at slow speeds. Accelerate to 350 km\/h or more and your bursts should be much more accurate. \u003cbr\u003e• It’s very hard to stall or spin the 109 but that certainly has been done by some less \u003cbr\u003ecapable pilots who were too rough with their crate.\u003cem\u003e (Il2 Aircraft Guide)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"COBI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59330767323217,"sku":null,"price":46.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/3575\/7137\/files\/5761-box-front-72dpi-1200px-RGB.jpg?v=1776436841"},{"product_id":"cobi-messerschmitt-me-163b-komet-jet-fighter-set-5766","title":"COBI Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet Jet Fighter: Set #5766","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"technical-spec__item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Messerschmitt Me 163B was an attempt to create a \"miracle weapon\" - Germany's answer to Allied bombing raids.

Production of subsequent versions of the Il-2 was canceled only a few years after the war. In total, about 36,000 of these aircraft were built. The initial versions struggled with many problems and were replaced in 1942-43 by Il-2 aircraft with a two-man crew, more powerful engines and reinforced armament. This model presents the original design of the wings, which was completely different than in the slightly later IL-2M3 model, in which they got a more aggressive angle of attack. In the West, the plane gained the popular name \"Shturmovik.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IL-2 aircraft was designed from COBI construction blocks in the scale of 1:32 using new elements. The block model offers many movable elements such as a rotating propeller, movable wing ailerons and wheels with rubber tires that can be folded to a horizontal position. Details and historical winter camouflage have been reproduced. The blue underside of the plane definitely draws attention. The cockpit canopy has been redesigned and can be opened to seat the pilot and gunner figures in the seats. Thanks to a special display stand with a plate containing the name of the plane and a place to attach the figures, the whole set looks fantastic! The model uses durable prints and historical markings.
