Hello everyone! Here is my second airplane. Its a very simple unique “burt rutan” inspired aircraft. Its meant for straightline speed and it lacks manueverability due to its small wing size. But I think its kind of a cool plane, let me know what you think!

Wow. That’s very pretty!
This thing is unique to say the very least
@MartinByrde Yeah, SP is tricky that way. It’s sometimes enough to save your build, go for a test flight and then upload it without saving it again. Bugs will happen, some are hard to control, so don’t sweat it. Everyone understands. ;-)
@Krikkit42 thank you so much! I’ll be sure to check the controls next time before uploading!
Another cool little gem. Again: very smooth controls and great flying characteristics. One little thing occurred to me: the rudder seems to be stuck (at least when I downloaded and flew it first). It required changing some faulty connections and reattaching it to the hinge rotators. I assume the tail wheel is supposed to actuate with the rudder?
Besides that: I really think you should keep the color choice for your original creations. Really makes them stand out plus you already got your own little ‚brand’. Maybe call it
„Byrde Aviation“ or „Byrde‘s Flight“
… or something Iike that. 😉
Anyway, keep up the great work and come check out my builds if you feel like it. I’d appreciate your feedback as well, since you obviously have a knack for making controllable planes.
@MartinByrde alright I will post it later
@HappiPlane go ahead!
Can I post a combat version of this plane
@Type2volkswagen @MrCOPTY Thanks guys!
