De Havilland Vampire SpeedBuild

477 ThePr0grammer  2.8 years ago

I Speed Builded this in 3-4 hours over 2 days. Can only take off at 430kmph. Can shake when landing or taking off. The yaw doesn't really work well: bad look of the double tails. Functions: 1 to activate/deactivate engine, 2 to use the VTOL flaps- put vtol up to extend flaps. This De Havilland Vampire goes close to its 868kmph top speed. Good at rolling but terrible at sharp turns- especially sharp turns. I plan to make another quick speed build later.

    I probably need to make edits to the model, the dual tails at the back look bad and the fuselage at the front (near the Cockpit) need to be slightly rounder to be considered a De Havilland Vampire. I meant it was a speed build.
