    @Sirstupid I'll work on fixing the pitch, then see what kind of cargo I can load it up with in the morning. thanks again!

    The Heep Micro IIIr [not released, but also the smallest] is 8 long, 4 wide and 4.5 tall. If I can clip off .5 blocks in height it would fit quite snugly in a 2-section bay.

    That sounds like a great idea! @jsaret

    @Sirstupid ok, tiny plane. Maybe an Altscraft 3-1? I think it would fit if I lengthened the cargo bay. Not sure how it would get out though. Maybe I could wedge a Heep Micro in there!

    Hmm... I think that if you could try to make a tiny plane in the cargo plane, that'd be pretty cool. And it's 2:30 here. @jsaret

    @Sirstupid like a stabilizer running the whole body length?

    @Sirstupid it's kinda late here. If I remember, you're in CST so its like 01.30 over there. I think I will log off for the night, and work on the pitch issue in the morning. Any other non-fix features you want to see?

    Also, maybe a stabilizer down the side with no fuel could help it. @jsaret

    No problem, It's a great concept! @jsaret
