AG1 for flaps, AG2 for lights.
So RamboJutter, chief designer of the combined aircraft companies De-havilland and Lockheed was tasked with making a general aviation twin engine aircraft, smaller than a Dakota and similar in general arrangement to a Dragon Rapide.
Taking inspiration from the general arrangement of the lockheed Constellation for the wings and the tail and the fuselage of a Rapide the Rapid Connie was born. Ordered and built in massive numbers this particular aircraft is the personal run about of the chief designer himself (well you would, wouldnt you). This aircraft provided seating for a maximum of 8 people to the rear and 1 or 2 flight crew (normally one but theres space for a second if you want to take the missus for a jaunt)
Thanks to HellFireKoder for saving my bacon.
On a side note, ive tried to keep part count down and limited scaling to only the actual wing panels so it should run on mobiles etc (works on my Samsung S6)

@BurkeEnterprise Thanks =) I was going to toy with counter rotating but the real DH rapide doesnt even have handed engines its just the same engine rotating the same way in both nacelles, i do get what you mean though as i tend to try to counter rotate to look better.
Absolutely love the detail! She flies smooth and realisticly, took me a bit to figure out how to put the flaps up though, and in my opinion the propellers would look better if they were spinning counter to each other, overall: 9.9/10
Gorgeous Beaut!
Rather Cute!
@randomusername not all aircraft stall like that.
@randomusername stall, as in not having enough air over wings to cause the lift to reduce to the point where it causes either the wing to drop (tip stall) or in this case the nose to drop ( fuselage is square which adds stability, wing shape etc) making the stall controllable. What did you mean? :)
@Tang0five @Aeromen @Treadmill103 thanks =)
@randomusername it doesnt fly at 15mph, it stalls about 40-50ish, the wing area on the stats includes the fin etc.
Good stuff, flies a treat too! This actually looks like it was a real aircraft....you’re not tying to get me on a bite are you....?? :)
Yes , just magnific . Great job .
Thanks for the entry.
