    @Tiberius57 I could explain how I add flaps, but this would just blow up the comments area here. So hit me up on the 'simpleplanes' Discord channel. My user name there is the same as here.

    Nice details, although I would have wished for some flaps or landing aids.

    My suggestion for a follow-up: An AWACS variant with a rotating disc on top, arrester hook and folding wings
