    This is a very cool looking piece. You should hide a VTOL engine in it for a power boost. Keep up the good work friend!

    @SkipperBing You're right The elevators need to be a little smaller. I changed them for Missile dodging, i suppose I should have changed them back before I posted

    Looks amazing and only needed a slight reduction to the size of the elevators to keep the pitch under control. Great job!
