LS-16 squirrel(Steampunk challenge entry)
Hi I'm Chesscube! Thanks for viewing my airplane! After 6 prototypes and about 1 hour of work This is my entry to wromface steam punk challenge. It is a Steampunk dogfighter. With 4 wing cannons. And 2 rotational cannons. ( Slide VTOL slider up to move the cannons also activation group 1 turns on rear propellers ). Takes off at about 230 mph. top speed is 240 mph. I will probably make an upgraded version of this soon. The primary wing shape was the hardest thing to pull off on this design. It overall I'm satisfied with the design, decent speed along with decent pitch and roll. Like I said I will probably tweak it and make it better. I worked very hard in this design and would appreciate feedback. Have fun and happy flying!

An hour isn't bad for being inactive, My newest jets took me at least 5 hours (The passenger jets, My F-22 did take me 1 - 2 hours).
@Chesscube cool!
@Nickasaurus @Wormforce thanks for the support! I'm about to release a vertical takeoff and landing version of this thing!
Great job ! It's a pleasure to see new people with nice builds like this :)
Although the roll tends to be better to be as far out as possible
@Chesscube hmm. Its a really good build.
Grate build
@Nickasaurus do you like it? Is there anything I should tweak or add?
