wow.thank you so much@karlosdarkness
http://richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/3vues.html if you are interested in making replicas this is an excellent reference site.
i didn't have a very good way to look at it.@karlosdarkness
Flies ok but doesn't look all that much like a Dauntless, you would want 3 parts minimum for each wing to make a Dauntless shape wing, square near the fuselage, tapered in at the rear with dihedral and then rounded at the end. I would also generally avoid semi symmetric main wings as you tend to end up very lifty. Tail section also could do with looking at.
