Sorry for the lack of uploads recently, I have not been as energetic as I want recently coz of school and stuff but I am back with a new series!
This is the first of the "Frame Planes", a series of replica frames using @Visify 's amazing piston engines! Check him out!
These are some of his earlier engines so they aren't very powerful but they still do the job.
controls:
- AG1 = both boom 25
- AG2 = nose wheel steering unlock
- VTOL = prop pitch (slide up between the last 2 notches is optimal)
/!\ These engines can start spinning in reversed direction or blow up if you use slow motion or break when at full throttle, beware.
Hope you enjoy this and what is next: Ta 15...

@iwannabeelected Yeah it wibble wobbles about like a butterfly! Thanks!
Haha, that's so cool! It actually flies!
@MethaManAircraft Just letting you know, I am working on your plane-A LOT. Just wait. What should I called by the way?
I am also working on something by Dornier. It is called "Do J Whale". It is HUUUUUUUUGGGEEEEEE, weight super heavy, and I am working on it.
Tell me you ARE working on it. XD
@kerothehero XD thanks!
@MethaManAircraft Yeahhhhh have fun on that
@kerothehero trying to make a gearbox for a completely mechanical tank... it's hard...
King Tiger project on hold...
@MethaManAircraft np
Btw wasup with tank??
How's it going?? ...
@kerothehero thanks be to you!
One thing. I cannot tweak these blades (make them bigger, thicker, etc.) on the ones with a larger number of blades (6-bladed as well as 8 bladed, and the way you made the 8-blade one IS NOT COOL.) Maybe a 7-bladed one?
@CDRxavier No problem, the propeller blades are composed in a special way that gives more thrust at the same RPM than a normal propeller, I don't think there's other people that make propellers this way so theoretically theyre the best on the site!
@CDRxavier That is great! thank you! cannot wait to test it out!
It rotates even SLOWER buy flyes even FASTER. Thanks for all that, @Visify !
@MethaManAircraft I fixed THIS ONE using some propellers from @visify as I just cannot make it better on a 4-blade propeller design. You should absolutely check it out. Also, I will be uploading this Do 335 as soon as possible. What should it be called?
The system is still banning me from uploading, but I can't wait to hare it to you guys! as soon as possible~
The TA-154 which is also tweaked by me (piston speed: 100% instead of 200, meaning half the fan rotation speed) completed the same track in just 8:06. The turbo version (200% piston speed-HEY, YOU GUYS GET IT TO 200%) hits OVER 200 on TAKE OFF, however it will explode when throttle hit 100, so it is still NOT the ultimate max speed of its. But 212mph? WOW.
I DID IT! With great pain, the OCEANVIEW SPEEDWAY. I beat it with this plane with no missing loops. Costed me 21:35
@CDRxavier interesting...
This one worked fine on my iPad. I guess it is the number of pistons as well as their density. I can still bring tweaking to this one, but yeah. This one is better than the second one....until I tweaked its rotors.
@HakkeAirTech thank you!
@MethaManAircraft Small engines like this one can't handle high rotational speeds very well, together with the gears it quickly becomes an exploding mess of scrap metal, so I removed those, and put on a large prop that functions at low rpm. For an example of what I mean by a "large engine" look at the Challenger V's engines, they have small pistons but a large crankshaft which is suitable for high speed flight.
@MethaManAircraft Here is a fixed version I had to remove the gears because they cause trouble.
@Visify link
@Visify my proper V4 works but fails with the slightest resistance because the crank shaft has no fixed axis between each cylinder... :(
@MethaManAircraft Yes! I'm currently working on a new design, if you're going to make a piston engine and have a question you can always ask! I know alot of glitches and workarounds that can sure help.
@Visify yeah I only just saw it! very interesting and smart idea! we have more to experiment with those!
