    I tweaked a plane built by https://www.simpleplanes.com/u/DrGoat , Check it out, he has the original and if you look under my posts you can see the latest update. It’s huge and fast, it’s similar to your plane.@chramies

    @ChopShop Thanks, the whole A160D series is a bit of a mess - longitudinal control particularly. Hence the warning about using trim in flight, but it doesn't alter the basic issue. I will delete this one.

    Unstable in flight. It just tumbled out of control. Needs work still.
