I've tinkered with this too much and need perspective, help, and encouragement before publishing.

The DDF Poco was my first release from the Skyward Series. The Scout is the smaller and faster sibling of the Poco.

To fly, download here.

Things off the top of my head I need help with:
- the suspension system aint great and will eventually be replaced with skiffs to be true to the book (ie hover take off / no runways)
- I added two internal vertical stabilizers to improve yaw back to center, but would prefer to learn more vizzy/physics/calculus to replace it via fly-by-wire
- the action groups are reasonable, but more automation plz
- ag 6 uses the entire wings for maneuvering, but it's crudely designed (eg pitch rotation point makes it more of a brake perhaps? what should I read to find out? )
- speaking of action groups, at some point I'll add a custom mfd with DDF info and a nice splash screen

I'm working a physically demanding job atm and haven't had the energy to do more. I'm considering a Youtube channel but ... I'm quite the shy person really and ya know .. excuses.

Segway to.. apologies in advance for late replies and thank you for your interest :)
