My best plane yet, started of with me just testing out a model for some landing gear but now its lead to this masterpiece.

There were many problems with manuverability on this aircraft but in the end I fixed 90% of them by playing around with the location of the wings and the center of mass...
turned out that I just had too much dead weight at the nose of the plane which made it near impossible to pitch up at low speeds

Nice plane!
@DPSAircraftManufacturer I ended up working out all of the problems, it turns out that my plane was just way too nose heavy due to me adding a lot of dead weight in some of my earlier prototypes...
