Auto Credit Based on Insertname's Face-PLAM!
This is one of my favorite STOL planes i have made!!!!! I have landed this going backwards! Please enjoy this crazy little bug! It was built for a competition that doesnt exist yet lol! For take-off: just touch the throttle. For landing: turn everything off. Use full flaps and trim, close your eyes and fall asleep. Cheers guys! -Jim
Really hope you guys leave some comments!! I love reading them! Also, I really thank all of you who have upvoted my recent planes! There have been too many to thank individually in the comments!

Nice! Yeah I'm having a lot of fun with this thing!! And confusing a lot of people! Haha@TTHHSSSS
I did an aerial three-point turn with it! Haha@Treadmill103
I went 10mph steadily!!
This is definklty the best! Lol

I'm blown away by the performance of this plane!! Well done!
Hahaha!!! I can't believe I did it either.You challenged me and I almost didn't think I could! and thanks!!!!@Treadmill103
-1620kg empty! You've managed to build an aircraft with the energy that expands the universe!
Interesting design.
Beautiful!
Just slow down and pitch up. If you do it right (with flaps and trim) the plane will fall backwards and if you are low enough to the ground, you can land going backwards lol@AudioDud3
Careful balancing and magic! ;)@AudioDud3
No I landed this one backwards@AudioDud3
Thanks buddy! @mikoyanster
Thanks!! Glad you like it! I made some adjustments because of a comment Treadmill103 made about me making a plane land backwards lol. This can do it @A3
