Auto Credit Based on Timslegowelt's Mach 5 to 10 op jet

Learning exercise modifying an existing plane: Timslegowelt's plane https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/pX5ham/Mach-5-to-10-op-jet. My first upload. I reduced the number of rockets from 60 to 54 just 'cuz - to see how deleting works. Removed two flare packs at the back, modified the nose cone (shortened) and rudder (taller and shorter front to back). Increased damping in the landing gear a lot because I notice a lot of planes have gear that is underdamped causing a lot of bounce on landing. I also made the canopy lower profile while figuring out scaling.

    I'm not judging. I am still new at this game so I land too hard a lot and I like well damped suspension to reduce bouncing out of control. I don't have a joystick and the mouse controls are sometimes still hard for me to use alongside the keys.
