Flies pretty well, but like the real Space Shuttle, it has a very steep glide slope. Be sure to keep landing speeds above 200 mph to avoid stalling. Have fun!

    Good looking. You can reduce the nose dive if you put the airfoil type to symmetric at the rear. Read the Wiki on Reddit, you will learn a lot and will be able to master all of this!
