Be kind as this is only the third aircraft I've built ;) It seems to perform pretty similarly to how the Q400 should. It's about 80% scale to the real thing and cruises at 330 mph in level flight at full power and about 215 mph at 40% which is a nice economy cruise. It rotates about 110-120 mph. Approach at about 140-150 mph then reduce for the flare but beware, at idle it loses elevator authority at about 121 mph. Only issue I have found is that it 'sometimes' loses a block near the cockpit randomly, not sure why but it's not that often. Also sorry for the messy nose, like I said I haven't used this much yet and it's the best I could do! Any advice in the comments would be much appreciated. Enjoy!

    @Tumbl3leaf Thanks for your kind words! I think it's the combo of high wing and T-tail!
