    @Sockdragger thanks! I tried to make the fuel around 10 seconds like a real rubber band plane.
    Thanks again!

    Grading:

    1) look and feel: Fair. A nice effort to simulate a rubber engine balsa plane. Although I would have wished the rubber engine to be more visible and also for a plane named 'Spitfire' to have at least a wing reminiscent of the original.
    2) Construction Solid.
    3) Flyability Slightly Minus. Even with fuel capacity enhanced to have something like 30 seconds of engine time, the plane has a pretty hight landing speed for a construction without flaps or air brakes. Flying it is definitely a challenge.
    Overall verdict: Still a nice toy plane. I hope you or someone else will take this and develop it further.
    Overall ranking:

    Dark horse contestant with possibilities. Congratulations!

    @SimplyElegant
    'labels' are on the bottom of the 'cockpit Interior' tab. Originally only designed to put 'labels' on the different switches and lights, someone quickly figured out that you could also use it to print serial numbers on tail planes and wings and then someone figured out that if you put 3 'dots' of different size on top of each other, you basically get a 3-color cockade. (Hope I'm spelling that right.) So long story short: you can use labels to put texts or serial numbers on wings and fudge the special symbols such as +, ° , and . To make insignias.

    For practical applications, feel free to look at any of my airplanes and copy what you want. The Corgy has a n actual RAF roundel you can borrow

    @ChaseRacliot yea, the name is a bit misleading, but it is a toy plane, even if I would have wished for some battle of Britain decals
