The new aerodynamics are awesome, huh? It's so much more fun than the old aerodynamics, where maneuvering was nigh-impossible. I'm starting my own little company once I get a little variety built up.

ON THE SHIP:

That amount of tailfins seems excessive. Heck, I've gotten away with a V-tail. Granted, the thing had very little control over pitch, but since pitch tends to get me into trouble, a lot, I let it slide. Also, I think you may be overfueling. My favorite engineering maxim is 'first simplify, then add lightness", and that certainly applies here. You could remove all the fuel ahead of the cockpit at least. Otherwise, a very nice, very simple, low-tech-level atmo plane. What's her V-max?

Looks great Will download when I unlike turbo's, looks like it has a pretty decent range with all that fuel... sounds good for knocking out multiple survey contracts at once.

Not sure yet on that V-max. Thanks for the kind words guys.
