Ok,cool.
@FastDan you should actually talk to Dann810. He helped me a ton to get this to fly right
I'm still amazed at how well this controls.Got any tips?
@F104Deathtrap that's funny! Indeed it does look familiar, it probably was designed to be like the 30's racers; compact, fast, and maneuverable.
Hey, congratulations on getting featured!
I found this little guy today while I was messing around on google. Looks awful familiar, doesn't it?
Amazing!
Nice
Very cool
@ThePilotDude also note that there are many more parts in back of plane than there should be if have the X Ray mod you well see
@Roswell Thanks! I thought so too as I was testing it
This is very fun to fly
@ThePilotDude i’ll check it out later, thnx.
It's...It's...BEAUTIFUL!
@Milo1628xa ohh, yeah, and if you want to use it, just look at SpiritusRaptor's posts. He made it, along with a lot of other dials and gauges
Nice!
@Milo1628xa artificial horizon.
Sweet beans
@ThePilotDude I had to use google translate and hope for the right word, which apparently wasn’t given to me. I ment the 360 bearing thing you made.
Very cool!

@Milo1628xa Thanks! You can only spotlight users with a lower point count than you, FYI, and also, what do you mean by protractor? I thought that those measured prop pitch
I love it! it’s the first plane i’ve flown with an accuall working protractor! I’d love to spotlight but it seems i can’t for some reason.
