Betterfy the Trijet Challenge (CLOSED)

Hi guys! This is my second Simpleplanes challenge I've got for you.

So, I was building this trijet dubbed the "Triana". However, there is one big issue with it. It can't seem to lift-off during takeoff. My tests concluded that it needs about 500km/h (300mph) to gain the lift it needs to fly.

The challenge is:

To fix the Triana. You can also make it look better, in terms of design and paintjob.

You are, however, not allowed to add in new mods onto the craft.

Copying other people's ideas would be a bad idea. Doing so would get you disqualified.

Once done, post it here. Tell me what changes you've made. Make sure that it is a successor to this.

Unfortunately, the deadline has been reached. (August 14th)

Prize: Top 3 best ones will receive an upvote for the next 5 aircraft they build.

Good luck!

    Suggestion: shorten the time allowed, as those who enter the competition earlier may forget to check how they did.
