This plane looked nice but it didn't fly nice. Here's a list of my improvements to the original design by NANOMAN:
Slightly better CoM and fuel
Landing gear
Lower pitch for stability
Lower roll for stability.

The list is small, but the improvement is very noticeable. The objective of the original build was failed, but that's fine if people don't care.
