    @WalrusManufacturingCO It flies pretty well, in my opinion. It is a big and heavy plane, so it doesn't handle like a fighter - it's not the fastest at rolling or changing pitch. It's not too slow at it either, stuff like lining up on a runway is easy. It has good stability in the air, it never feels near to being out of control, and it doesn't really have any nose or tail wobble after making a turn. Taking off is easy, the engines give it plenty of thrust to get into the air, and landing is also pretty easy, the big wings give it good lift even at relatively slow speed.
