Adam A500

ADAM AIRCRAFT A500

SEVEN of these were made, and only TWO of the jet edition, which I'm pretty sure @AlmostMobileFriendly is making. Nonetheless, there is an astounding amount of internet info on them, and I was able to find decent blueprints, which I am 90% accurate on. I was also granted the ability to see one at my nearest air and space museum!

The real thing.

And some screenshots in a realistic map from BagelPlane... thanks these are great!



CONTROLS

Ag1 to start front engine
Ag2 to start rear engine
Ag3 for airbrakes out
VTOL down for flaps
Trim for trim

There is also a system on the vertical stabs that prevent the aircraft from yawing too much on takeoff and landing roll, and the nose gear turns less with speed. Still, do not ride the yaw too much as this aircraft is very yaw unstable(idk why).


I hope you enjoy, everyone and BogdanX(I am entering your challenge)! This is my most detailed, highest part build ever. If you enjoy it, I encourage you to upvote.


please note: this aircraft is a replica with a few small fictional details, such as the airbrakes

    @PapaKernels @Mage2IsTriggered by the way, we need a name.
    I'm thinking "Formula SP Challenge" is the best for now, however that limits it to single-seat open-wheelers. Maybe a better name is containing "grand prix" in the name, like "SP Grand Prix Challenge" or just "Grand Prix Challenge"

    @PapaKernels @Mage2IsTriggered ok, so Kernels you can hold the challenge. I can write the full desc, Mage if you would put together a thumbnail, that'd be epic. Or maybe some sort of logo I could put in the description banner would be good too.

    @UltraLight @PapaKernels im already hosting one until april 1st, wouldnt be fair to have 2 at the same time, plus points dont matter to me, so one of you would be better off hosting it

    @Mage2IsTriggered @PapaKernels ok yeah, good idea with the classes. Also, open wheeler can be a class so yeah, we can accomodate all of that. Now whose account should it be on? I'm fine to not host it, obviously the owner will gain the most due to upvotes and successor pts so i dont want to be a douche here. But I can write the desc or whatever you guys want

    @Mage2IsTriggered @PapaKernels

    Hey guys, any interest in a Simpleplanes car racing challenge? We would make it as the three of us, and here's my pitch:

    There's a set of regulations:
    - car size
    - min / max weight
    - max horsepower
    - no XML on certain aspects such as wheel grip
    - no "electric" motors
    - specified downforce amounts / areas you can use wings

    And it all has to be aestetcially pleasing, this will be a scoring category but handling and Gold Prix times are weighted quite heavily.

    As for scoring, we can discuss a points system. But we each would also take our best run of Gold Prix in each entry and average the times, that would be a large points.

    Let me know what you guys think...

    @EternalDarkness is there any way you could remove my follow from the two people I am following? I know it doesnt do anything because they're removed accounts but it just bothers me for some reason
