Nice build 😊
Thank you for your criticism!)) I was very pleased to read your review!))
I am very impressed with this build of the M-17. I have always liked aircraft with twin-boom rear fuselages and of course had to take this one up for a flight. First I looked at her in the hangar and liked what I saw. I like how you concealed the square intakes with the panels, the subtle touch of the camera looking at what is under the airplane as a high altitude reconnaissance plane would have as well as how this aircraft performed. It was not too maneuverable but it was not so heavy that it couldn't make maneuvers at all - it was proportional. The elevators worked just right without the nose bouncing a lot, the ailerons were just the right size for her to roll slowly as you would expect of an aircraft with long wings for high altitudes. I flew from Bandit Airport over to South airport and then returned to Yeager Airport and brought her in to land. I was greatly surpised at how well balanced it was and easy to adjust both the pitch and roll for a perfect landing in the middle of the runway with no bouncing or trouble. If I would add anything to this it would be air brakes to slow down a little faster on the runway. It seems that is something an airplane like this might have. Great work on this aircraft, I look forward to your' future builds!
Thank you!) I did not expect my build to someone like that)))
Thank you very much!)))
It looks really cool. Keep up the good work.
