I had tried some pusher props, and I know it is harder than building a jet.

@WinsWings actually struggled on the maneuverability part since the wing with pitch controls is small
thanks tho
Ill spotlight this later, great work!
Great job. Pusher props are not easy to build. Especially to make them fly very well. This plane is very good
