So I’m back, ive gotten a better phone that can handle my builds, so expect more remakes and new designs. I've done this plane before but it was crappy, now it's better looking and more flyable

    Both seem far too quick but I think that’s the downside of essentially doubling up the control surfaces. Nice build though! @Warbirdnation

    Thanks for the feedback, and I’ll look into your suggestions, and not only adding one piece i actually did this from scratch again and made it a little more realistic but the controls I need to work on. And the fuselage looks good according to the blueprints I used to shape her, and what type of controls? The roll or the pitch?@Tang0five

    Yeah this is nice but you’ve celebrated your new phone by adding one more piece. (The following is merely a suggestion!) I like the two tone camo that’s always good, but why not use the nudge function to make the wings thinner and try expanding that principle to the fuselage. This handles very quickly I feel - try to play with the size of control surfaces to make it perform more realistically.
