Thus is a push plane for the community challenge but feel free to try it out and improve its design. IMPORTANT IF JUDGING PLEASE READ. This plane is very simple and every point of drag counts so you need to take off properly or it will slam into the ground from drag on the landing gear. First put throttle to 100% and pull up until the plane takes off And you have retracted the landing gear. Once in the air bring the throttle to around 45% for regular stable flight. Obviously from here you can accelerate to get the max speed though be aware that the plane likes to pull up slightly at 100%. Thanks for the competition I enjoyed making this little guy. Have fun and enjoy
