Could you do something like @jamesPLANESii did on the Scout Eagle? Like, maybe not an eagle, but it was an animal that turned into a stylized 2-3 tone paint job. And maybe you don’t need to do an animal necessarily, but if you came up with a paint scheme with lines/shapes/stripes or something, it would fill up that blank canvass space. Was that too vague?
Hmmm. I will think about it and get back to you. @Chancey21
any ideas for a livery? @Hyattorama
yes @Hyattorama
I guess one thought I have regarding this build is about the tail section. Or more specifically; from just behind the rear doors to the leading edges of the rear stabilizers. It’s just a lot of empty space, a lot of blank canvass, so to speak. Are you going to add some stuff there when you do the livery?
Oh okay. Interesting. Cool, thanks! @Chancey21
Yes it’s really inverted
It gets the tail down which gets the nose up @Hyattorama
Is the rear airfoil actually inverted? Or is it just the fuselage parts are shaped that way? Also, what is the advantage of an inverted rear airfoil?
I agree with @jamesPLANESii, I think the flight characteristics are wonderful. I really like the cockpit and the doors/hatches and engine bay. Also I agree that it would be better if the doors and engine hood could be actuated independently... I’m sorry I don’t have anything useful to say about it haha....leave that to the more experienced builders I gues... but I think it’s great! @Chancey21
I like to keep the AGs as simple as possible but ill consider it @jamesPLANESii
Angling the gear made a YUGE difference, thanks @jamesPLANESii
Yeah they’re really good! I gotta say. Maybe you could put the doors, the hatches, and the engine thingy on separate activators though. It looks a bit ridiculous with everything opening at once lol. @Chancey21
Ok thanks, what do you think about the folding wings and doors/hatches @jamesPLANESii
Oh and this is what I’m talking about with the windshield. I think the shape should be more like this, and you should cut out a bit of the leading edge if the wing like this. (I pooped up the glass thingy cuz I’m on my iPad rn lol)
Oh cool @Chancey21
The main reason the STOL is so good is because it has inverted airfoil on the tail just like the real thing @jamesPLANESii
Thanks @jamesPLANESii
I reckon the nose wheel needs to be moved forward a bit, and maybe put on an angle (If you know what I mean), and I think the wing needs to blend in with the wind shield a bit better.
Flight is fantastic!

Any Feedback? I can't see what's wrong with it cause I built it. the "Creator's Curse" Blinds me
