The de Havilland DH 106 Comet was a revolutionary craft which ushered in a new era in civil aviation. Its speed and quiet and comfortable ride earned it high praise from the aviation community. However, it was riddled with problems. At high altitudes, its square windows would cause structural stress and wear due to its cabin pressurization, and it had the unfortunate habit of disintegrating midair. Credit to BaconEggs for the cockpit and enlarged fuselage section. Controls are normal, but a bit dull, and the landing gear tend to stick through the engines when fully retracted.

Confused this for an a38o
@BurkeEnterprise I tried multiple wing components, but for some reason the inboard section of the wing under the engines aggressively reacted to the pitch and roll, inverting them, so I had to take it out.
Thanks!
Nice job! Maybe next time increase the wing-to-body ratio for better realism.
Handy trick: if you have multiple wing parts instead of one they will stick to the fuselage blocks.
