I Need Some Test Pilots!

As the title says I need some people to test out my new aircraft and I would also like feedback on how it looks. Here is the link: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/46P2DN/Chengdu-J-20 and a clickable link will be put in the comments. Thank you guys!

    @RyneKuczy Aye, alas it requires you to build around it. I'm still finding a few alternatives, but it's a process :3 I'll let you know if I find anything useful.

    So far I don't think I am going to include the all-moving canards, maybe in a later version though. @OtterOfToast

    @RyneKuczy My pleasure! And alright~ You can use the Corporeal link on this thread, but here's what you do: You add two rotors from the gizmos menu to wherever you need your canards to be, then, add the vertical stabilizers. Set the rotors to a max angle of about 30 degrees and set them to pitch. Then, group them to a group you'd like to have on hand (Personally, I use 7). This will allow you to toggle between finer, slower pitch movement for sub-sonic flight and landing/takeoff procedures, and trans-sonic and super-sonic flight where you'll need high maneuverability. How you get it to fit with minimal drag, I'm afraid I can't help you with, but I do hope you're able to use this somehow!

    I would love to know how to do the all-moving canards! Also it is completely fine if you use it to learn. Thanks for testing it! @OtterOfToast

    This is an especially impressive aircraft, I must say! If you don't mind, though, I have a few suggestions that may interest you.

    • Your canards are great, but they should be turned whole, instead of having a control surface. I can tell you how to do this if you'd like.
    • Your drag ratio is astounding, keep that up.
    • Your roll is a little bit too fast to control. Toning it down just a little bit would serve you well.
    • I like the level takeoff, but it seems a bit fast to be taking off. I think larger wings would create a little more lift.
    • Lift would be useful considering it's a bit front-heavy.

    Aside form that, this is an amazing aircraft! I really like it, and if you don't mind, I'd like to see if I could learn something from it for my own crown jewel, with your permission of course. I hope this helped~ Happy flying, my friend! <3

    EDIT: Oh, and by the way-- I'm sorry the other guy beat me to it XD But yeah your aircraft looks top-notch, and has the stability to match!! GG, friend!

    @RyneKuczy ok so I've been testing this for about five minutes, I said I'm in a little bit late so here are the results

    —nose/tail heaviness: a bit nose heavy
    —stability: very stable
    —manuverability: very good
    —looks: gorgeous
    —overall grade: A
    Comments: very fun to fly and it looks good and is very fast
