This is one of my first successful builds. As a noob, it took me about 3 or 4 hours to get it right. lol The plane was much shorter before i posted it. I kept changing wing shape and position. Eventually, frustrated that the would always pitch up, I just kept adding fuselage pieces, until it flew straight. When I was done, I thought it resembled a goose and since I am from the North......"Arctic Goose"

@AwesomeDesign717 Wow. Thank you very much.
I have followed you for 6 months and your builds still amaze me.
Wow
@ccooper Thanx for the upvotes cooper.
Nice
@QSDragon Ah. cool. Thanx again.
@salisbey Aoa = Angle of attack. Have the front of the plane higher than the back of the plane when landed so the wings are angled up. Most planes should naturally start to pick up off the ground without much input. In real life most planes have the wings angled as well as the wheels so the leading edge is raised a bit, but in simple planes all we can use are the wheels.
@voodyn Thanx. Me too. lol
@QSDragon Thanx. Sorry,still new. please explain aoa.
The design caught my eye, and I'm impressed at how it flies.
Easily one of my favorite luxury cruisers. I still think it has a huge rollout, adjusting aoa on the ground would help but it's definately flyable as is.
