Default First Airplane

Hey guys, how do you think this would be for a first plane? I don't want to get a trainer because they look boring and ugly. Also I know everyone says to get an instructor but I don't feel like paying the money to join a club. But that's ok because I used to fly full size planes and have logged like 1000 hours on G3. I can't wait to fly this thing! I'm also going to add retracts.

And will this engine be good?

Great,

Now me and elenasgrumpy must feel the horrible guilt resulting from ruining your April Fools joke.

It's raining and now I'm depressed and guilt-ridden to boot. I feel the urge to build a plane....dammit.


Happy April Fools Day!!
