Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on my plane. This is my latest project building the Dornier Do X, In the process of building this I ran into some trouble getting it off the water so a big thank you to @BurkeEnterprise for helping me with that and @IisFailing I saw your comment on the successor to put the weight forward and it fixed something else I ran into so thank you too! With the thank yous outta the way I'll put some random things I got from the flight tests. Taking off is a breeze just put the throttle and trim up and pull up at 170-180mph. Only problem I encountered was it'll do a front flip if you hit full down on the elevator so by wary of that. This is also my first stab at having flaps of any sort so lemme know how I did with them. And that's all she wrote so thank you all for checking out my plane again and I hope you like it!

@BurkeEnterprise Yeah I might try that when I next boot up the game to counter the front slip I had happen a couple times
@BurkeEnterprise Thanks again, will do!
Might want to decrease the nose weight a little though
You did an amazing job on this though. Love the wing and tail fin detail! Tag me if you need anything else!
Here's a tip: don't make replicas of unsuccessful prototypes. Most of the time they can barely fly. Stick to successful aircraft until you really know what your doing.
