    Sweet, dude I personally think replicas are the HARDEST thing to build / master. I am not limited to a preexisting design when I make my planes, so I am always confident of the outcome, with replicas, you are not only having to make a thing that flys well, but also having to continually compensate for looks as well. Great first start, good luck to you on future replica builds. :)

    I managed to solve the balance prob: move the 2 front landing gears 1 block forward. Scrap the front single gear. Then make the wings your landing gear is attached to flat bottom. And your main wings flat bottom. When you get up to speed it isnt as nose heavy then. All the best - nice plane.
