I like the looks of this. Nice plane! I was playing around with it and discovered there is still 1100 gallons of fuel onboard. That's over 6500 lbs, and is probably enough fuel to make a transatlantic flight, which wouldn't be fun (single seater with no bathroom on an 18h+ flight). You'll get much better short takeoff and landing performance if you dump some of that fuel (might have to rebalance a bit after).
oooh this is nice
