    @WarHawk95 Hello! Thank you for all of the tips. I’m much better at building in SR2 But I thought I would give this a shot. Also, I’m unaware of all of the imperfections, such as the gear, I just put them there so it would work, otherwise thank you!

    However, not bad for a first plane. Here's an updoot !
    Also, for your WIP builds, upload them as unlisted (select "unlisted" instead of "public" in the game's share menu) and upload them as public only when finished. :)

    I would also suggest to rework the fuselage shape, push the wings a bit forward, make a nicer border for the cockpit, and make a more "pointy" nose.

    Good start, but it only had 3 gears : 1 under the nose and two under the fuselage in the wing area. None at the wingtips nor the tail.
