    @Mustang51, I made an update to the Sunderland that added all of the things you wanted, although I have not finished adding windows, and wish to improve the performance further.

    Well I have done that, I just cannot post the new updates; the wings are swept up though slightly, which helps provide more lift, my new short Sunderland is a lot smoother at flying and the gyroscope is fixed

    @Lufftwaffe2007 well the wings should be 2 meters shorter and the fuselage about 4 meters longer. Also the wings are not swept back at all but they do get slightly thinner at the tip than at the root. They are also further up on the fuselage. Try working with a 3 angle diagram of one when getting the angles, profile, and proportions right. I do that for my replicas and it really helps

    @Mustang51 I need to know how to shape the wings, and how much to lengthen the fuselage

    This is a really ambitious build! Looking promising so far but maybe try getting the wings the right shape and angle. Also the fuselage should be a little longer for how large the wings are and the turret is

    I@BlackBoA yeah, but I am not happy that I had to put 2 BFE engines in there, and it is very hard to maneuver
