    @Ninja451 if you need some ideas on how to make a wing brake, a year ago, I uploaded a demonstrator aircraft that uses a dummy wing bureied inside the main wing to 'pull out' air brakes. May be you can take a look.

    Cigogne-STOL-testbed

    The dummy wing is symmetrical.so it doesn't affect the main wing when flying. It's drag is set to 5 in xml

    @Sockdragger Thank you for the feedback, increasing the drag value didn’t seem to do anything when I was building the plane so I left it alone. I personally don’t find it hard to land, but that might just be me knowing the plane well. Did the other changes, and will attempt to make an air brake with a wing. Thanks!

    @Ninja451 couple pf quick things:
    1) The vertical control surfaces on the twin fins move the wrong way Change the value for 'control.surface-invert' from False to true
    2) set the value for auto-center for tht cockpit camera from 'true' to 'false' so you can look around in tht cockpit
    3) the joystick in the cockpit has a value 'length' play with it until you can just see the top of the joystick.while looking straight ahead

    Also:
    + The writings on the switches in the Cockpit are really hard to read. May be use a different color
    + Landing is really hard. You need to at least quadruple tht since of tht air brakes to have any effect: increase their 'drag' value, use a large dummy wing as air brake or five the plane a braking parachute.
