    @Derpy1109 I diden't know of that... Always thought that if you put the intakes behind something they stopped working. Will try that out.

    Sometime in the near future i will probably go thru all my uploads and release newer, more detailed versions of the aircraft and fix all small things just like this.

    Haven't flown it yet, but wing loading implies something fun, and TWR pleases me. I hate TWRs of 1+.

    Also, of course, it looks like a meteor. Which is good news.

    Protip: For future tubular intakes, you can actually nudge the intakes behind the black representing the hole. Just do it by 1 nudge, and noone can see it, yet there is still perfect airflow. This helps make sure the fronts of these intakes don't look ugly at all, as having D-shaped lines in front just starts to ruin a good look.
