sure :p @Liquidfox
@Swag777 lol that is true but it's just crazy man. I almost feel like the up votes are fake sometimes. It pisses me off but oh well.
@dogspit Thanks for the support. I believe ccooper is popular because he upvotes so many planes and is in turn well-known...
Oh for God sake this community pisses me off. You built this plane so well and yet ccooper gets an average of 40 up votes for every hunk of crap he pumps out. Grrrr
