    @AZAMGAMING the doctrine is something I made up, off of the famous meme of the KSP troubleshooter (add more boosters, add more struts), but it’s always good to see another Kerbal engineer!

    @MrHoboDuck okay! So, for feedback:
    .
    - The wings are a bit too small for the plane. This can be deduced by it’s fairly high wing loading for such a small build, as well as it’s lack of maneuverability and tendency to “swing” when applying a pitch input. (For instance, my C-65 suffers from a similar issue due to its wing loading being around 95 lbs/ft^2, and therefore can pull crazy maneuvers, but struggles to keep itself up.)
    - The power for the Wing area is too low. If you were to fix the wings, that would fix this issue. Otherwise, just do as is said in the Kerbal Engineering Doctrine: add more boosters (engines).
    .
    Other than that, seems like a pretty nice build. With time, you’ll learn to build like the platinum builders here (time not specified, as user experience depends on their learning experience).

    For a first plane, it’s pretty good! Looks pretty cool. If you want, I can give you a bit of feedback to possibly improve the plane, though I’m sure that there are many more people who know more than me. (I.e. platinum users)
