ApeCorp Q5B - "Yuna"

Do planes need to be symmetric? No ......kinda. Have had a lot of fun trying this out. I feel it has good handling - although when you pitch - you have to subtly compensate for a little roll. Also this is my first plane without landing gear I'm afraid.For my first wonky plane I wanted flexibility so didn't include it.
I would love your feedback / tips. thanks

    @ahappyape Sure thing. One of the worst things on this website is how great builds are never seen again once they're a few days old. People put days and weeks of effort into builds, only for them to be lost in time.

    @ahappyape Lol! I noticed that. It intrigued me because I have just worked on a asymmetrical jet recently. Yours is a little more extreme then mine! ;-)

    @UnknownVectors lol. Do you still have your prototype? Might be easier for me to look at that and fill in the gaps.

    @ahappyape Could you maybe make a quick guide to asymmetric building. PlanesOfOld Says he will only follow me if i make a plane 100x more complicated that the rainbow Vortex and asymmetric

    @UnknownVectors the mirror tool is your friend :-) so long as the wing surface area on each side is the same your mostly there. Also the angle of your control surfaces is big time important to pitch stabily. Hope I've helped - just look at yuna - she will show you! Also I see the points haul.is going great. Keep it up. All the best

    @Mr0Muncher thanks for taking the time to rate buddy. You are spot on on the agility thing. I would have liked a bit more - but with this wacky design I just ran out of ideas to get it any better.

    Wow! This is awesome! The design is superb; and the fact that it is not symmetrical makes it super creative! It could be a little more agile though; but this is amazing!
