The Byrd Aviation T-2 is a small, twin engined cargo plane. This is my first build with fuselage control surfaces and I am quite proud of it.

Normal flight controls, AG.1 for lights

--NOTE--
Trim is your friend - USE IT
Also the flaps do practically nothing so I recommend using trim for takeoff and landing

    Yes, thats the strategy all the top builders use. It's time consuming but if you do it right it can look great. I recommend taking apart really good planes to see how they did it. Also if you are going to do this you have to set drag and weight to 0 with the xml mod otherwise there will be a bunch of unessescary weight and drag. I hope this helps
