What would you say the best altitude for performing tests on a propeller aircraft would be? I wanted to try and build a jet however being on mobile has limitations, and I feel like making a prop plane would be easier for me, since it would be my first working plane built from scratch.
@ThomasRoderick Oh awesome!
@Revan13152 There are three more of us aspies that I know of: MintLynx from Texas, Avro683Lancaster from Australia, and FeatherWing from the UK.
@ThomasRoderick Gotcha gotcha, I’ll probably start drawing something this weekend, and then start building after exams, also it is always cool to meet a fellow person with Autism/Aspergers
@Revan13152 Read my bio, we aspies aren't normally that good at art anyways, and it took me like what, five tries to get their aesthetics right. For each one of them. Just because we aspeis suck at arts doesn't mean we can't even get a basic idea down in orthographic.
@ThomasRoderick I can’t believe I never actually thought about sketching a build, I feel stupid now, I’m not particularly good at drawing but thank you for that and those examples!
@Revan13152 I mean, the point is to first get a clear picture on what you want to build: is it a fighter, a bomber, a transport, or something else? Then with that in mind, we can sketch down some basic shapes on what the plane will look like, including the aesthetics/artstyle, the wing configuration, the fuselage configuration, engine types, etc. Then we build. And try our best (with the help of XML, of course) to recreate what we wanted to make.
A few examples of my sketch:
Starfire "Nightprowler" attack bomber, something I've been working on as of now.
Roderick Airworks "Nimbus" high-speed bomber and Nelan Drive Yards "War Drake" Aerospace fighter, two projects I'll start working on after I finish my current project.
@ThomasRoderick Alright gotcha gotcha, I’ve been wanting to try building an aircraft for awhile but like I’m scared to lol
Below 15,000 meters / 45,000 feet? Seriously, it depends on what you're trying to build.
