@YaMomzBox420's Build, I just fixed the prop and added the fins to make it fly once I got her moving. Engine is set to the throttle now.
No tinkers. Never tinker wings :) the physics engine will not like it much and let you know, lol. Just used 3 wings at 45 degrees (painted transparent). Takes off at about 65 m/s halfway down the runway. Not a speed demon, but to make it go faster, make the trailing edges of the "boat prop" longer to generate more lift. Motor is maxed, except torque, I wouldn't go any higher or it twists taking off. I would think lighter = faster, it's quite heavy (battery :/) Maybe just make a small battery hide it on the balance point and leave the other tanks to empty? It doesn't seem to draw a lot of power.
I pulled your parts off to set to the side and just put on new ones. Also added bigger wings, it just needed more lift.

@YaMomzBox420 Give this one a shot :) Took a break from my newest scale build to poke at this for a minute. Nice work on the shape, I like it. Enjoi :)
Thanks man! I really appreciate your help with that. Now it works pretty much exactly like I wanted 😏 I don't think I'll develop this particular craft line any further since I've already developed it into something else(I'm making some last minute refinements and finishing my basic flight software, but I have a new and improved design on it's way), but I'm definitely stealing your prop setup for other stuff. Also, without giving away too much, your idea about the fuel tank placement is pretty much spot on for what I did 😸 I will however, take what I've learned from this project and use it to develop a much more realistic RQ-1 replica (at some point when I have the time lol)
