DHC-1 Chipmunk
I finally picked up simpleplanes again and decided to build something! please tell me any ideas you have to help me make better planes! My main issue with this one was when i tried to put fuselage pieces on the wings it made the drag rise so much where the plane didn't control well so i just took them off
Tip for landing: glide the plane above the runway with 0% power until you get to about 100mph and then touch down on all three wheels at once!
