    @Phim While beautiful I ran into a few issues flying her. Her center of gravity and lift are so close together that she can quickly pitch upward with the slightest lift of the elevators and bleed off a bunch of speed. (At least with keyboard controls.) I am not sure why but she tends to roll to port as well though I've noticed a similar problem in some of my builds that never had an issue before too. A bug perhaps? Dunno. Anyway I filled up the forward fuselage section with fuel which brought the center of balance away from the center of lift but still behind the main landing gear, gave her wider "paddle blades" and a broader prop diameter and that fixed the instability and allowed her to use more of that 2,000 HP you put up front. Better yet she still maintains that amazing maneuverability and remarkably slow stall speed you built into her. She handles exactly how I would expect a next gen successor to the Zero to fly. :D
