    @DragonAerotech Maybe. Ill be posting another version of this soon with about the same flap arrangment as yours and alittle more color. Im just not that big of a fan to bright shiny aircraft on here. If they want to paint it the way they want then they can. It really saddens me when I put in all this work just to have it wasted because its grey. GEE SORRY, I didnt think PURPLE would be a good color for staying undetected -v-

    @TheOwlAce Yeah, see, I'm not sure if some of that drag was due to that 1x1x0.18 piece I snuggled down into each wing so it's worth a shot to experiment.

    @DragonAerotech I might modify this with different air brake arrangements but I got to make sure it wont affect the speed.

    @TheOwlAce Yep, I know about the ducts in the wings, I remember way back when, when they first appeared on the Bf-133. lol

    I just meant the new one at the back, which is the exhaust from the wing root ducts.

    See, we both feel our airbrake arrangement is better, you run into that in real life aircraft industries as well. lmao I like it because it's symmetrical and doesn't effect the attitude of the aircraft it simply decreases speed. As I cannot land this layout of aircraft with a dead stick often, typically resulting in a prop blade striking the runway and (unrealistically) causing the engines and everything else to explode, I come in with throttle on and decrease speed as necessary until touchdown at which time I throttle down, throw the air brakes up to max and start tapping on the brakes until she stops.

    @DragonAerotech It actually turns alot better than the I2, and those ducts have always been there, now the exhuast just goes out of the back, it flies alot cleaner.

    @DragonAerotech The reason I keep the air flaps on the bottom of the aircraft is to counter act the upward pull the landing flaps do when on finale approach. That way it stay level mostly.

    Not bad, doesn't feel a lot different from the I-2 but then again, this just included the new exhaust duct from the wing root intakes and the two new MGs, right? Still to be able to be adapted to carrying two more MGs that readily - she's a design with a lot of versatility.
