Haha the trim actually moves the rear wing, hope BogdanX sees this lol

The Plane

I'm really happy about this. It's a plane that truly clicked with me while building it. I never got bored, even on the tedious parts. The flight model actually feels like a real plane, and it can stall and even spin if you try. Despite this it flies crisply and the aestethic was great.

This plane was even better than my Frogfoot and it's probably the best thing I've built in over a year. I kind of left the game and community for a while and I still am not fully back, but I hope this break was healthy for me. However, this plane really puts my confidence through the roof and hopefully I can do more like this build.

Sorry for the paragraphs, and anyway me saying the build is so good probably means it gets 2 upvotes. Anyway, thanks for all the support guys! I love this community so much <3

    It’s so refreshing to find a user on here who actually plays simple planes for the physics sim side of things. So many users just build based off looks so to speak with poor flight models

    @Bellcat no cockpit sorry

    I think the smoothing can look unnatural and weird, due to it just being a shaders adjustment. So i wanted to go with a more clean build

    Nice aircraft. Looking good anyways, even with the custom gear. Why aren’t you using smoothing on this plane?
    .
    Is there a version with a cockpit?
