@CanofBeans you have point but still making the either the body longer or the wings a little smaller would help it look a bit more manageable
@xrpm3 @Flakmagnet I did my research.
Actually, the ARC-170 has a wingspan of 22.6 meters and this is actually smaller than real design. Also the length of the design is 14.5 meters while this is only 7 meters. So this is actually 1/2 scale to the original. @Flakmagnet
It actually flies pretty decent for the design. Remember that this was meant to fly in space, not air, so physics applies differently to it. Secondly, this is the best I could do while keeping it true to the model. @xrpm3
It doesnt fly well. The control surfaces are slow there is no rudder and no landing gear it tends to spin alot because of no rudder. But it looks great.
Three complaints 1#colors are a bit spaced out and bland to look at 2#the wing are a bit big compared to the body(yes even for a arc-170)3#fly controls are there but very slow to react and could be fixed by hiding some controls surfaces In The nose other that those this is a great design
those can be hard to balanace out good job
