20/25 - first impressions: looks awesome! Exactly what I'm looking for, and has the perfect look, the front glass is a bit long in my opinion, so it kinda deprives the look. If you could have made it more rounded then it would definitely be better.
45/50 - looks: definently has the looks of an ultralight, and is a really unique shape, just the cockpit glass is what is pulling me away.
90/100 - flight: flight is awesome, pitch is good, roll is good, drag points are good, power for each engine is right at 100hp so its perfect.
20/25 - details: I absolutely love that control stick, its really cool to watch, the door right behind the cockpit is a great touch. Could have used a bit of striping on the bits of fuselage, as well as adding some structure to the long glass in the front as it looks odd with out anything holding it up. I noticed on landing that if you dont land it perfectly level it shows it's a bit unstable in the rear, I would have liked it to be alot stabler when you dont land so level, that's really the only part you lost points on.
40/50 plausibility, very plausible, I would fly this, just if the front glass is a bit shorter, and its gear is a bit more stable.
225/250 it's a very well made aircraft, details could be more, but all in all it's a very fun aircraft to fly, if this doesn't win a top prize it will definitely win my favorite. Awesome aircraft!
