Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's 96 Parts Challenge 9.20.23 [CLOSED]

This is a revised version of my CV580 for WinWings's 96 part challenge. It came to my attention that I had misunderstood the 3rd rule, which is specified a limit on the number of individual wings to be kept at 6. I ran into problems with this, as with flaps extended, the airplane became uncontrollable, so I put them on separate wings, which violated the rule, but due to how it was worded on the post, I thought this was only a recommendation, not a requirement. Credit to MrCOPTY for picking it up.

I also made the propeller diameter shorter, as I realized the ground clearance was insufficient
