This took forever to build and I could never figure out why it rolls to the right. I made triple sure that the aircraft didn't have any wrong weight distribution but for some reason it rolls to the right in flight. I kind of fixed the issue though, slide the trim almost all the way down to make it fly right. if anybody knows why it rolls I would love to know. anyway I hope you guys enjoy this model.

    @SpeedmeisteranAircraft it looks like I can't build the SR-72. I have no idea how I could make the triangular fuselage

    @SpeedmeisteranAircraft the SR-72 would be a fun build. I think I will do that.

    @SpeedmeisteranAircraft thank you so much. I think the reason why I'm not platinum is because I only recently started putting this much detail to my planes. I have learned some tricks and I have gotten better at XML editing. By the way do you have any thoughts on what I should build next? I prefer to build planes that haven't been built before. For example I am never going to build an F-22 because so many other people have already built amazing models.

    @BaconRoll I didn't have any good pictures to go off so I just stuck the gear where I thought it should go.

    I'm having this issue with one of my planes right now, and it's keeping me from uploading it right now. I hate it when it does this.
