    Thx for the advice Steve
    However, it still warps a bit even with the pyramid, plus it now has a habit of exploding violently and spontaneously on a hard turn
    I'm guessing that it probably needs a new beam configuration...(I'll play around with that)

    For now, this is what has to be done:
    -Airbrakes
    -Steerable landing gear
    -Flares
    -Flight tuning
    -Better skin?

    Without simpleness life would not be life and RoR would not be RoR. ;D

    Hey guys!
    Sorry I havent posted in a while but Ive been kinda busy lately and havent worked on this much. However, I will be doing some flight-testing this weekend (yay!) and hopefully have a beta-worthy version by the end of it.

    -Cockpit cam gets pushed way back when flying fast
    experiment with wheel settings and straighten camera beams could help

    seems a bit to fast and in wire frame it seems you built it strong enough to go that fast, fun though

    14,300 kn's is my record
