    @RodWan, Can you see if you can make that one “Mobile Friendly” F-14A Tomcat even more mobile friendly??

    Not bad, but you should step up your wing game. Next step in development of this aircraft should feature at least basic custom control surfaces. Alternately, you may decide to go straight to some of the more advanced options, like what BogdanX is using, or even perfect airfoils like what BaconAircraft makes.
