Digital version of a plane I doodled last night. It actually flies.
The usual controls, trimmable pitch.

@Jukkelus the plane is ready
@Jukkelus good night good sir
@247freddyfasbear I can't wait to see and test it! Good night and until tomorrow.
@Jukkelus the plane I made is to help this aircraft on close air to ground support missions and you can use it anytime I will upload it tommorow
@Jukkelus ok so I realized that making a forward swept wing is a lot easier than you said. Just make sure the center of mass is only 3ft. Away from the center of lift. I finished the plane made to fly with this aircraft.
@Jukkelus thx
@247freddyfasbear I wish you luck and success with your build!
@Jukkelus also np
@Jukkelus maybe I should build a plane that can work with this but with a diff concept
@dimindahouse @Tarquez @247freddyfasbear Thank you for your kind words and upvotes.
@247freddyfasbear This was looks first, aerodynamics later design. It took lots of trial and error to get CoL/CoM distance right. Original idea was to have trailing edges of wings to align with ends of engine nozzles but that proved to be impossible. I had to move wings more and more backwards until CoL was far enough behind CoM. Test flights had minimum fuel load that didn't affect CoM. When fueling up, I marked CoM with a small fuselage block and filled tanks while keeping CoM in it's place.
How did you get the forward swept wing to work
Nice design and handles smoothly!
Yoooooooooooooooooooo this is so awesome
