Beautiful presentation. Flaps are overpowered, and the plane looks taller than it should. Still, great build.

Slightly less pitch authority than I would expect. Half-assed control surfaces. Paint job lacks details like registration and warning signs. Other than that, nice build.

Excellent performance. Paint job is too plain, plane lacks paneling, and rudder rotator is too fast.

    @Supercraft888 description took a big chunk out of your points. Picture presentation would have brought you more points. Make me want to buy a plane like that. Literally to spend million dollars to have it in my hangar. I'm running a day behind schedule with judging the last category and putting up the list of the most pleasurable entries to use. Your entry will most probably be on it. You also have no details on the wings, and control surfaces are such that they give rounded trailing edge, which reduces quality points. Try using fuselage inlets for trailing edge. Use angle option of inlets to get swept trailing edge.
