Auto Credit Based on JetWondy's (CLOSED) Fewest parts challenge

My entry. Not Pretty but it can do the job. A bit touchy control surfaces, and you have to babysit the throttle to control altitude, but it will get you there. I had to use 3 secrets to get ti down to 4 parts.

    Thank's. I think if I spent time on it, reshaping the wing(s), fiddling with the flats and elevators, and probably downsizing the engine I could get it to fly better. But I wanted to get the first 4 parter out there.

    Shush! That one of the secrets! It isn't the best flier, but I wanted to get a 4 parter up before someone beat me to it. I'm sure that with some adjusting it could be a better plane.
