This is the first plane I’ve posted in a while… It’s pretty basic, and doesn’t quite meet my standards for a totally finished build. However, it feels nice to finally be back and posting on the website!

I could see how the hat is completely beneficial during dogfighting lol
I like the hat a lot. 5/10
Thank you!
Hi @Vincent, could you please make this post a successor to this (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/YbIuoU/Christmas-Challenge-OPEN) challenge? Thank you
@Bellcat Thanks! Yep, in real life that hat would be a bit disruptive.
That’s nice. I bet the big hat on top of the plane is gonna ruin the aerodynamics of the plane.
