So I started out trying to make a replica of this old fisher price model plane which looked remarkably realistic, and while it didn’t end up looking much like the source toy, I thought it looked quite nice. It flys ok, though I would not recommend aerobatics, it loses speed fast due to the janky drag engine so keep that in mind. When landing, use 45-50% thrust. Once you are lined up, use AG1 to activate landing assist to keep yourself straight and stop yourself going wheels-up. Have fun
