@Bradford what could also help is reducing the drag by around half but that will also change the top speed of the airplane and have some other unintentional consequences
I’ll see if I can make the wing size bigger without breaking the replica type look of this aircraft. It is very underpowered at the moment and does not fly well yet. I plan to make the fuselage weight lighter in the final updates on this but I am not sure exactly how to at the moment. Thanks for the feedback! @Mustang51
Damn! This is a really good looking aircraft. The detailing you put into it is superb. However, the wings are a bit thin for the size of this aircraft. If you made them about 2.5 times wider, it would look better and fly better too. It’s quite underpowered too, especially for its weight and the low wing area. These are easy things to fix though! I’m looking forward to your next post :)
