F-117 Nighthawk

Because of the complex model of the F-117 Nighthawk and the limited amount of different blocks that are provided, my adaptation of the F-117 Nighthawk is not a perfect reflection of the actual plane. That being said, it is near perfectly balanced and has a very large fuel storage. It has a max speed of 450 mph. In my humble opinion, it looks fantastic and flies as close to perfectly as I could get it. It's just an all around great experience to fly.

You have to immediately pull up for takeoff once the speed gets high enough, or else it will lose control and turn over. Unfortunately there wasn't much I could do about it, but the reason it happens is because of the unnoticeable balance issue that tips it down slightly. It can be fixed rather easily, but I was trying to make it look as accurate as possible, so maintaining the same look but altering the balance is very difficult.

Please rate if you like the plane or think it needs improvement. I would love to hear what you think of it. I would also appreciate any ideas for any future builds that you would like me to do. Thank you.
