EternalDarkness inspired me to come out of retirement and make a plane so I made this for him. (For EternalDarkness) I spent like 5-6 hours total designing and experimenting with this. Many changes were made but it is now ready for your testing. It is equipped with my custom gyro stabilizer system (1) Emergency landing gear (VTOL) Airbrakes, an emergency parachute (2) this was kind of tough to build. Id greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

@SpencerTreePuncher No problem!!! :D
Thank you for commenting Swift. I do have a pc but not simple planes for it. I may get it eventually. @SwiftAirTM
@SpencerTreePuncher I would also recommend for you to get SP on a PC if you have one. And then you can do Shift + W A S D for moving parts around. :)
Thank you for the advice Eternal. I never would’ve thought you would actually comment on my plane. I recently made a plane using the Fuselage pieces, they are quite useful.
@SpencerTreePuncher fuselage blocks do take a bit of time to master, but it pays off. Try downloading complicated planes and replicating their parts to get a hang of it. Also, since you are on iOS, and thus unable to edit xml files, feel free to steal edited pieces from my builds.
Thank you for responding. I have always found them quite confusing, but my latest build has them. I tried to make a very practical plane, and it took awhile because of how the body is just never completely level no matter where I put the thrust. I’m glad you like it.
@EternalDarkness
You should try experimenting with fuselage blocks and nudging. Getting smoother shapes and stuff. Still, this is an interesting design.
@Caveman999 Thanks man! Those are the emergency wheels. I have found that they are extremely useful when taking off on rough terrain. It was tough to get it to fly well, I am not very experienced, but, I am proud of how it turned out. Thanks for the comment
The image just came eye level and I like how you put the suspension onto those wheels.
Tough? if you say so.
It was tough for me. Thanks for checking it out though

Made it just for you :D
