    @Bleepblopbloop Welcome, It's certainly worth looking at how to mod things, I'm still learning what can be done.

    @Bleepblopbloop do you know the two mods that come with the game originally? you can use these to change how the engine works. If you want, I did try and make a model a year and a half ago "Spitfire mk2" take the exhausts (save as sub-assembly), They don't drain the fuel and they turn off once the landing gear is retracted.

    @JosephT thank you for the ideas of the exhaust, I also thought about using vtol thrusters, but that drained fuel quickly

    @Bryan5 I've mostly been trying to just make them as simple as possible. The original plane was made for a 25 part challenge and it inspired me to try to make a series of planes that are "simple" and under 75 parts in total

    My favorite quote about the plane was that it could be built in a garage, maybe an idea.

    @Bryan5 the best tip I have is when you want to make a suggestion (or have an opinion) to complement, then say some suggestions. The only reason that I gave those suggestions, is that they are what was different about the spitfire (and I have physically built models from kits of this plane). thanks for noticing.

    Don't listen to him you put a good amount of effort, it's cool although I would suggest putting guns behind the propeller and see if you could make it "spit-fire" from some exausts.

    Maybe you could use Blueprints next time, also, please try to put more efforts into your builds 👍
