    @Tang0five cheers! They were a royal pain in the posterior to do. You see, they would randomly connect to the surrounding parts, making the control surface immobile at best and one time, at worst, causing the whole kite to open up like a break barrel shot gun upon deploying flaps. Oh what a laugh that was...

    Most splendiferous! Quite envious of your working control surfaces I must say! (and you’d only find that sort of comment in SimplePlanes...)

    Cheers me old mucker! Have fun with her. Oh, and for better performance, try drainkng all fuel from her and filling up the main fuselage behind the cockpit only. I gave her a wee bit too much fuel, you see... @Tang0five

    The colour pallette in Simple Planes is long overdue an update, I feel. With an option to alter opacity. @jamesPLANESii

    Pretty good, I disagree with the purple cockpit though. It probably would have looked better light blue or something...
