Change log:
-disabled drag calculations on fuselage wing parts, allowing wings to function better.
-enabled control surfaces to main wings to be able to roll during flight. (Kinda useful for flying you know lol)
-minor adjustments to tailplane to make it more stable.
-Limited vertical stabilizers range for adjustment. (Also for stability)
-Adjusted COM and COL so that they are both behind the main wings, and COM is further ahead than COL.
-Minor drag adjustments.
-Fixed rear landing gear. (Having the gear unsymmetrical was causing it to rotate during takeoff. More experienced players can do this well, but it’s really difficult to do right, and even I have trouble doing it. I think what I did looks almost as good, and allows you to steer while on the ground. Hopefully you like it, but you can try other stuff if you want to.)
I don't think I forgot anything there. Feel free to ask any questions you have about it.
By the way, your propellor is quite powerful, you can go over 400 mph right now (maybe more). I suggest lowering the horsepower a bit, but thats your call.

@TheMouse lol
@Wolfy26
I hate it when I do that. Thats probably the reason my later projects have like 20 different save files lol.
Update: I’ve just accidentally left the game without saving the plane so my progress is gone and my disappointment wants to quit working on this… I’ve been working on this too d-mn long just to quit when it’s so close to being finished I am NOT quitting in this project like the rest… this will be finished and willing to fly whether it likes it or not
@TheMouse I’ve done some touches on the plane and it’s flying relatively normal I still haven’t changed the landing gears yet just the paint of the main fuselage and the engine I’ll keep you updated since you’ve help me lol
@Wolfy26
Anytime, this kind of problem solving is my favorite thing about sp.
@TheMouse THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭 and sorry for putting a burden on you when I finally came back I am so sorry 🙏 anyway I’ll lower the horse power and the landing gears were temporarily and will be changed also yeah the take off was difficult 😭 I managed to get it airborne but couldn’t maintain climb as the plane would flip and yes I am taking notes of what you did to the plane so I can use it as reference in the future also the wings didn’t have control surfaces in them due to me realizing something was off about the plane before I could make the ailerons
@Wolfy26
Fixed it for you. Long story short, I downloaded it right away yesterday, and then promptly forgot about it.
Should all be working now.
Hopefully by the time you read this comment I will have had time to have written a changelog in the description.
