Auto Credit Based on juhsag's Defiant (Rutan design)
Reworked this Defiant model. Changed fuselage, adjust fuel distribution,weight ballasting, added air brake, and changed some flight control functionality. The fuselage isn't the aesthetic I wished for. I was trying to get it identical to the Rutan Defiant but this is what I can come up with at the moment. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on improvements I should do or if anyone can improve this please let me know.

@juhsag
ok awesome!
for the HO229 I would give it rudders but hide them inside the plane, so they are there but you cant see them, try to avoid the gyroscope
@ACEPILOT109 check out my U2 --> https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/0nEY4K/U2
@ACEPILOT109 thanks. wish the gyroscope worked.
@ACEPILOT109 I friend requested you on discord. I actually have 2 discord names. I need more points before I can be a member of the official discord. I need 55 more.
@ACEPILOT109 I am now making a HO 229. I am having trouble with yaw control. I wanted to see if I can use the gyroscope but can't get it usable for yaw control. It's a flying jet wing design. I have two turbines but all it wants to do is spin. I have no idea how to control this. If I can get the HO 229 working it would be a really awesome aircraft to fly!
just checked out your account, I liked what I saw and I want to wish you the best of luck here on SP and IRL. please tag me if ya need help with anything on SP and or RC stuff as I am quite into that myself.
