@Zing2000. hi all, this is the first part of part one of a collaborative project Zing and I are embarking on. he has skills far beyond my own and able to make the most outrageous contraptions fly. so this is the first part of the lightning bolt. This as it is actually flys and flys quite well. You will have to use yaw to keep it straight on the runway, and pull up and left to pull up straight. There should be a new version of this having been perfected by zing. Pleas do have a look at his creations. All the best

    @PBandito just wanted to let you know, I have not ignored your suggestion, I have very much taken on board your comments, and again I do appreciate your honesty. I have tagged you to this as I didn't want you coming across this and thinking I was being petulant, this; although reminiscent of recent designs, is a consequence of the project. I know I shouldn't feel obliged to explain myself to anyone, but I was humbled to have had your feedback. All the best to you sir.

    @SemedolasPT hahahahahhahah, well it is Kind half a plane really. It's something I like the idea of, we are working to a theme, I designed the basic outline of thus one based on a lightning bolt, and zing with his masterful powers, will no doubt make this into something special. As it is right now, it flys really pretty well. You have to think pretty hard to keep it level, but it's good once up. rolls well, and pitch is pretty good. Have a go, I'll be impressed if you can get this thing going. As a tip. once it's airborne, let it level itself out, get some speed and a little more height and it's golden .
