Hi Phil Swift here presenting Flex Tape
Fun Fact: Piper did actually make a "Piper Swift" - well kind of, and two variants. The Piper "Fury" and "Swiftfire" were essentially Globe Swifts that were heavily redesigned by the Piper-LoPresti Engineering team. The Fury came with a 200HP Lycoming IO-360 while the Swiftfire had a 420HP Allison 250 turbine. Sadly they never entered production since they were developed right before Piper itself went bankrupt in 1991. Another quick fun fact with other resurrection attempts with the Globe Swift design itself: Aviat Aircraft bought the rights to the aircraft in 1999 but a lawsuit dispute occurred between Aviat and LoPresti over the aircraft's use that prevented Aviat from reviving the design for production. The type-certificate & original production tooling were also obtained by Univair who made spare parts for the Swift until 1979 when the Swift Museum Foundation bought the tooling & type-certificate from Univair.
Just a mistake because I forgot but it’s quite an easy fix @jamesPLANESii
How come there’s no rudder?

Why did I read "Phil Swift"?
It's beautiful, the theme of general aviation is even better, but the aircraft wants a few basic things. The trim tab works great (albeit a bit too much) however it definitely needs a rudder. If it were real without it it would have been deflected on take off by the force of the propeller current. I'm sure the next one will be excellent. Continue with the same passion
I’ve done that lmao @Reuben201103
@ChrisPy oh no I must have just forgot and thought it was such an obvious thing that I couldn’t have forgotten it
Cool！
