A nice liitle twin prop cargo plane I've made. Suggested by KellyJ. Flies very stable and is really agile too! And for the fans, there's a little suprise in the cargo bay. Activate decoupler one to drop it.

Please leave a rating and enjoy your flight!

    Awesome, the bomb glitches out sometimes tho, but that doesn't really matter.

    Okay, I was at 60 % power cruising and level, that's when I watched the bomb re-attach. Multiple runs & higher speeds will likely give better results. Thanks for the advice.

    @Thumper Try to fly in a straight line when dropping the bomb.

    Like it! Flys OK for a heavy model. Suggest: provide & use more yaw control when flying, and the det=1 payload a bit buggy (Payload re-attached to the aircraft model on first try).

    Looks really good! I never think of using the RCN for windows in my designs...
