Diloph's Tiny Plane Challenge - ''Push Raven'' Light Trainer

Auto Credit Based on QuiteInactiveWhiteBread's Tiny plane challenge

Here’s my entry to Diloph’s “Tiny Plane Challenge”. It has custom landing gear, even though landing gear wasn’t required. It flies generally ok, despite it’s small size. I made sure it uses no fuselage blocks, I’m pretty sure it follows most of the rather limiting rules that were set for the challenge. Anyway idk what else to say, enjoy this little thing and I wish all other contestants luck on the challenge! I know my entry won’t win but I’d like to think I did an ok job lol.

Edit: I just realized I was using low physics the entire time I was tweaking this thing, so I guess you should fly it on low physics for best results? I’m an idiot lol

    @L3dg3ndary I think he said anything XML that affected weight and size wasn’t allowed, I’m assuming that was supposed to prevent people from just making normal sized aircraft, and then scaling them down.

    ...sooo not to be nit picky but the pistons are xml modded to have a landing gear Input and you said that wasn’t allowed @Diloph @AWESOMENESS360

    @Diloph are you using low physics? Also just for recommendations, treat it like a Cessna-172 and not an Extra-300, and just go light on the controls, seemed to work for me.

    @Diloph those hemispheres are actually the old nose cones before we had fuselage blocks in SP, you can edit them to look like that. And the pistons aren’t scaled either, they’re just in an extended position so they kinda look long.
