@toast345
I would be very happy if you could help me by republishing the built, because if you explain it to me I wouldn't understand. In fact, with full flaps and trim using the joystick an annoying spin starts.
@MonsNotTheMonster sorry I didn't know I usually copy and paste
ok, it looks great but the control surfaces are a bit stiff in some areas and way too sensitive in other areas, thats the only downside but it looks fantastic especially for the number of parts.
