    @blueshirtandjeans thank you. And just keep trying. I went through many variations of this plane (as well as all my others) before posting them, and as my skills improve, I will often revisit older projects or take on new ones that I never thought i could accomplish. Even if you think you can't create one plane, don't give up on it. Just revisit it later on when you think you can.
