Auto Credit Based on Geniuswaffel's Martin-Baker (MB 5)

Some slight alterations to the original poster's airframe. Elongated the aft fuselage and rebalance weight so that sudden elevator changes don't induce spins. Take off speed is around 130mph. Maximum advised takeoff throttle is 60% and you'll want full up elevator as this aircraft has a nasty habit of tipping onto its nose. Landing maximum advised Throttle is 10% for finals. Again, nose needs to be kept high throughout landing and braking should be very gentle or else nose tipping occurs. No other alterations made.

    @Geniuswaffel Yours was pretty good to begin with, and had some pretty quirky details e.g. the air intake under the fuselage. All I've really done is tweak it so that the airframe is no longer behaving as a Widowmaker. Congratulations should be to you :)
