Auto Credit Based on Shnippy's Big aircraft project

I’m really excited to show this aircraft to all of you, because I made a working electric aircraft and I also made a decent loading ramp system. A huge thanks to randomusername for giving me some tips on how to make a working electric aircraft, this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the tips you gave me. This aircraft ain’t the most prettiest looking one or the fastest one, but it does fly. It’s a troop or cargo transport and it gets its power from the sun, thanks to a solar panel on the top, it also has a reserve battery for night flights.
Controls: normal aircraft controls
ag1: arresting hook
ag2: lift up tail to access the cargo hold ag3: pull out ramp
ag3+VTOL: lower ramp
Unit cost: 200 000 in Canadian dollars. Hope you enjoy!

    Don’t worry, not a dumb question. But ACEPILOT109 has already answered your question. @Sadboye12

    Thanks! It was the sweet spot I guess you could say, it’s where they weren’t affecting the planes performance. And thanks for the upvote! @ACEPILOT109

    Interesting place for the engines, or, motors. I like it! Reminds me of a Icon A-5!

    I totally agree with you! It was the only place where they would run smoothly and not affect the plane itself. Haha, thanks again! :)@randomusername

    @randomusername Hi! I finished my electric aircraft, and was wondering what you thought of it, before I publish it. Thanks again for helping me out!
