I built this plane going for a long winged aircraft that could glide at high altitudes for long periods of time. It has two jet engines with the intakes on the outer edge of the wings.  It has two steerable wheels in a row under the middle of the aircraft. There are two landing wheels on the outer edge of the wings as well. They decouple on the run way after you pick up speed. There are also four "twitch" engines on the back of the air intakes. The purpose of these is to maintain a consistent glide in thin atmosphere or you can use them to help you land. There is no oxidizer in the tanks so they only last for a few minutes. Adding to the fun there are two parachutes on the out edge of the wings if you are having a hard time slowing down upon landing. This aircraft is very heavy, very wide, and quite responsive for its size. This is my first build with all stock parts.
