    I made a variant of this with retractable landing gear. I will post it soon. Hope that's OK with you. All credit will be yours, I just gave it retractable gear.

    @canadianavgeek853 finally:;the plane has trouble keeping straight when taking off due to the long wing. Consider increasing the surface of the vertical stabilizer.

    But that it for now

    @canadianavgeek853 also: the plane is very sensitive on roll- input. You can make tht ailerons smaller or slimmer or if you have the overload editor installed, you can click the wing and in the editor select 'controlsurface' and set the 'maximumdedlection' to a lower value like from 35° to 20. That worked wonderful on my copy.

    Also, apparently you have two ailerons per wing, so close together they look like one. Consider deleting one of them and edit the other to span the whole length of the wings

    @canadianavgeek853 ok. First off: You can delete he orbit camera as it doesn't do anything in this plane. Basically an orbit camera gives you the same functionality as the standard camera that comes with your cockpit. But if the camera somehow gets detached from the plane, the views follow the camera. Typically you use the camera for something like a launchable parachutist or a ship's sloop so you can follow the choose between following the aircraft flying on or the parachutist jumping (or the ship and the sloop.) Here, as you already have a cockpit with camera, you won't need the extra one.
