I decided to dust off the cargo plane and make a few tweaks… I raised the leading edge of the wing a bit for positive incidence (added pitch stability), and flattened the main gear a bit so it sits better on the ground, and isn’t so hard to lift the nose on the takeoff runs. Those simple changes made it feel like a whole new (better) plane! It’s flying very well now! Soon I’ll get on with the parachute release mechanism and start dropping some payloads!

Thanks! There are no plans, but it’s a real simple build using “Experimental Airlines” techniques. It’s all foam, hot glue, and packing tape, with the exception of some lite ply plates to spread the load where the landing gear mounts.
