I'm happy to share my 10th EXF. A couple of you requested one with retractable landing gear, so here she is. She flies pretty well, the nose isn't too pitchy, I was thinking about trying to make it capable of VTOL to see if I could succed in me own challenge... It proved too hard for the amount of time that I had. This was another very fun build, hope you have fun flying it. The landing gear goes up with the throttle, so once you're up in the air, hit AcG=1 to let it fold up. Then the missiles fire with AcG's 2, 3, and 4. Don't forget to come back to rate and comment and voice any questions or concerns.

    Yeah, I know, that happened to me too:( I tried for about 30 min trying to find a way to keep that wing attached, but couldn't find a way to do so on my little iPod :( so I attached a few RCNs on the bottom of it so that you could still have some control over the longitudinal axis @corey1324

    I love it but I don't know why but the left control surface keeps falling off even if I reattach it
