My first real STOL thats pretty ugly

Ok, sp this is my first real STOL aircraft, but it flies pretty fast still. Its not too decorated since i was just adding random details to some of my old stuff, but it lifts off at something stupidl low like 67 mph, with its tail raising somewhere in the 50s. Im proud of its performance, but not really its look, but for now this is what i have. Ive wanted to make one of these for a while but never really got around to it until the great people of sp helped me with low-airspeed takeoff stuff so here we are. I plan to expand on the design and keep up the E- series of planes. I wanted to point out the terrible look in the title so people knew i knew it was ugly, but this is a design in the E-500 series, specifically the E-503 M.1936. I hope to keep adding detail and fine tunings to make it takeoff at even slower speeds and fly much slower, but for now, imhappy with it. Hope you enjoy! PS, takeoffs work best if you set it to full throttle with full trim.
