My friend LiberatorWeaponsAgency told me that you're a very nice and helpful fellow plane engineer. I'm requesting help on how to improve my newest jet: FP-16 Vulcan. If you have no problem helping me out I would greatly appreciate it.

    @Skua If you could upload your version of my plane that would be great because I'm having trouble with applying your advice to my plane. (I've recently started SimplePlanes)

    @Zmaj I tried your plane out and it's a decent build, nice job. I agree with both of Rocket's suggestions - having the rear landing gear just a little bit behind the CoM makes taking off a lot easier, and all that dead weight at the front is reducing your ability to turn. I took absolutely all of the dead weight out, took the fuel out of the wings, and added fuel to the front. It came out about 1,000lbs lighter with a CoL this this. I also reduced the size of the control surfaces a bit, to make it easier to control. If the plane is wobbling about when you pitch, that usually means your control surfaces need to be a little smaller. I hope this helps, it's a great plane!

    @RocketLL i can't really tell anymore though, people have betrayed me, sometimes even my best friends would come around and stab me in the back.

    I think I can help you out.

    EDIT: You have a lot of deadweight on the front fuselage blocks, making the COM go far front of the COL. That makes the aircraft stable but un-agile. Remove some of the weight.

    Also try moving your rear wheels more to the front to improve takeoff distances.
