    This is my favorite plane of yours yet, which is saying a lot. I’m gonna go ahead and speak for the entire SP community and say thank you for enriching our lives with such brilliant builds.

    One technical question; what functional parts did you use for the flaps (not the cosmetic flaps), and how are they setup? I noticed how they function in a more realistic way (I think), where ~0 to 3/4 the nose pitches up increasingly, but >3/4, the nose starts to pitch back down, and drag increases more significantly. Is there an air brake part involved?

    Thank you for posting, as usual, I am so impressed.

    Ah okay, cool, thanks. I’ll pull it apart and see if I can learn something. Also, btw, I lied earlier :/ the Skychaser is still my favorite. But part count is too high for my machine so I forget about it sometimes. @MrSilverWolf

    Who would win? A prehistoric 60ft shark that weighed 60 tons, had 6 inch teeth, fed on whales, and had the strongest bite of any animal god has breathed life into (20 tons), or......one floaty boi.

    @Hyattorama thanks a lot!
    And the flaps are hidden wings in the nose set on VTOL, BaconAircraft I believe helped slightly with getting those working properly
