Upgraded version of the Cranefly: new painting, new landing gear mech, larger and more articulated wings and it was time to cover all of the plane... or most of the plane, that tail gave me problems. It's faster: 160mph!

TAKE-OFF
-Never pull up and roll at the same time while rolling down the runway or carrier;
-On runway, throttle up to 70% and use the trim slightly to rotate;
-On carrier, full throttle and yaw to avoid the tower.
