    Flies really well, very smooth controls. I love the bi-pl ane to mono-plane conversion with activation group 1! 😀

    @Acer500 No problem at all. It would be cool if the little guys had a rag doll effect when you crash.

    @TheLatentimage Thanks! I toyed with several variations, but this one won out. Test dummies are underrated.

    That's pretty good man. It looks good, and handles pretty accurately. Nice work buddy. I like the pilot.
