FOR LEVEL FLIGHT PUT TRIM AT THE BOTTOM!!!!! This plane has to be driven off a small edge or given a bump to get flying. Also Eveyone seemed to be building ancient planes, the ones that were there at the beginning of all flight. So I thought "I want to be cool too," not really I just wanted to make something cool and interesting. Its fun to fly but it only has enough fuel to make it from Murphy/Yeager to bandit air port. I hope you all enjoy it cause I spent quite a bit of time on it. As always have fun and enjoy as always!!

What a rip-off ! I thought it would float :p Fun concept. For the take-off issue, you can move the wheels forward so that they are a little behind the CoG. Or if you like gadgets, put an actuator or a rotator to give a push on the front wheel and simulate a bump.
I want to thank all you guys for the support and likes given to all of my planes up until now. Please continue to share my works with others it makes me really happy knowing you guys like my work. Thanks as always and again have fun and enjoy!
