    @Insertname Thanks! It's actually much heavier than the actual thing, but it still flies well.

    @Sarpanitu Thank you very much for the review! Yes it's a bit unstable when turning sharply due to the position of the vertical stabiliser and the centre of mass. Also I was trying to recreate an ancient plane, so it has no yaw feature.

    @Treadmill103 Yea, I used a rotator since it kinda fits the classic theme :)
