Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's Tutorial Plane

Flight instructions: This plane is pretty front heavy, when taking off, throttle to full and hold down pitch, otherwise you will nose down into the runway and explode. After touchdown, apply breaks gently, holding it down in quick short successions lasting no longer than 1 second, otherwise you also nose down into the runway and explode.

This is one of those projects that I felt a bit too demotivated to continue building halfway through. I originally planned to just convert it into a target practice plane (accounting for the lack of detail), however the maneuverability this plane boasts is simply too good not to share with the world, so here we are. For relatively new SP players on the site, I think this plane serves as a pretty darn good testing platform for any new planes you may be thinking of, or it can simply serve as a target practice if you feel like it.
