One of the hardest planes i have ever built on this app, not being allowed to mirror and also having the CoM and CoL changing constantly (thank you new parts! Helping shift the CoM easily!). I found this plane while looking for blueprints for the CAC boomerang, as i wanted to build an aircraft that i hadn't seen on the simple planes website (which this one isnt either). I have released this one early as i want to hear feedback from the community, with some issues that may arise and also to see others edit this from it's "BETA" stage... BEWARE!!! On take off, you need to aply full rudder to the left (as soon as you throttle up) to counteract the plane pulling to the right (you need to do it early as the plane will pull hard right from 70-90 MP/H). Also dont pull up before 130MP/H and when you do, pull up slowly otherwise you will stall and crash! Hope you all enjoy this aircraft in it's early stage, cant wait for the feedback!

You could have trim on a horizontal stabilizer I guess
Ok thanks
@WWIIPlaneBuilder its difficult as there is just too much unkowns. Planes are fundamentally supposed to be symmetric! The different drag on each side was the worst. The one irregular plane I made is good but it won't fly in a straight line. It's like it has a slight permanent YAW to the right :-)
You get points depending on the up votes of planes, I think it is 10 for every upvote on the plane you build! @Mavric
Yea, I tried to make it look like the wing merged with the feudal age, as it isn't connected in some parts, so I stuck that on but it rarely works!@ahappyape
When it gets into the air I found it was great, with some minor roll problems, can you explain how you found it difficult?@ahappyape
How do you get points
Also a piece on the left falls off when you start
Tricky sucker to fly! I know how hard it is to do irregular builds so you get Max respect. Looks great
Good luck....
