Auto Credit Based on AeroEngineering's Experimental wings

I had an idea for good looking wings that wouldn't be too much work to make. This plane originally wasn't intended to be anything but a fuselage with wings to see if my idea worked, but when it was flyable it looked good enough i decided to keep going with it. After some help from CobalT, she became a wonderful flier that handles like its on rails once up to speed. Enjoy and feel free to reverse engineer the wings (I'm too lazy to make a tutorial).

Notes:
When taking off, hold pitch to avoid the prop hitting the ground
Handles poorly at low speeds
Don't hold brake when landing, press it, wait moment, press it again, etc. until the plane comes to a complete stop. This prevents the nose from hitting the ground

I'd like to thank cobalT for helping me balance this
