    @EternalDarkness thank you for the feedback. I plan on introducing a jet version soon. I appreciate the link to the custom surfaces. I'll work to incorporate them on future builds

    Btw, upvote is for the flight model. This is a very stable flyer. Landing gear is a bit basic, but nice. I'm glad you have left control surfaces visible (I hate it when people cover control surfaces), but I think you should try experimenting with custom ones. And what I meant by "better, more realistic proportion" is that the fuselage is too tall. Usually, planes of this category (busyness turboprop) have nearly cylindrical or perfectly cylindrical fuselage.

    @Simplemike sorry if I've hurt your feelings buddy, that's not what I was going for. I hope that my feedback will help you improve your skill.

    @EternalDarkness those were my thoughts. But thank you for making the lack of build quality well known

    Except that the part count is too low, it's not a successor, and wouldn't win due to other entries being far more detailed, having custom surfaces, and better, more realistic proportion, @Vidal99977
