This is my attempt on making the Bede BD-5J, the smallest jet aircraft ever produced. Not very good, quite slow, and somewhat low agility... This plane is also my attempt at making coated wings. I didn't coat all of the wing, since it causes too much drag and increases weight.

    @Tully2001 The handling is a bit better. But the front landing gear is tilted? I like it!

    @Tully2001 OK. But if you move the CoM nearer to the CoL, will the pitch become wobbly?
