Second plane on the site. Despite it being my best looking plane it's probably my worst flying plane. The landing gear is bad and has a stall (probably) problem. I deeply apologize but I don't know how to fix it. I do thank CallsignTig, RetturnOfJeffChandler and kenzie(cocomeron) from the SP discord for helping make it not as bad
