A plane made completely from 'stock' parts, no tweaks with XML or anything, everything is as it comes right out of the box and altered only using the game tools.
Flies OK, but needs some serious trim to keep the nose up.
Maybe I should have gone with a normal wing structure.
Trim can be achieved by the normal method OR by using the two vector thrust ports on the rear, which happened because I needed the RCS ports to help with roll and were added because plane gained weight and extra thrust was needed.
Discovered they could be used for trimming purposes during testing.
All other controls as per normal.
