What's better than a 4-part plane? A 3-part plane!
Now with yaw control!
Has some FBW features, but it still flies on the verge of spinning out of control.

''single engine'' omfg really?? i didnt even notice that!😱😱
Talk about PEA
@NTH Nuh uh
3 is the absolute minimum, you need a engine, wings, and a control surface to even think about powered flight, but a one-wing glider COULD work with 2 parts, and even just the wing, but the minimum practical amount of parts is 4-6. Wings, Control, Engine, Fuel(if the wings are large enough, then the fuel can be in wings), and the Wings, where there can be 1 or 2.
I can barely run it
Make it 2
One part….
Me when 3
Now make a 0 part plane
"Single Engine"
