    Everyone starts out not being able to build well but it just takes practice like everything else. If you consider someone else’s creation which is very slightly modified as your own, you’re not going to get practice on making them from scratch which is much more fun! If you need help at all feel free to ask or use my planes as inspiration. It is okay to use small parts from other people though (modded engines or XML weapons for example). Can’t wait to see your further designs! @Jrhench

    Most of my uploaded planes are just modified versions of other people’s creations, I know this isn’t always the best thing to do but I do not have much skill at all in building decent looking planes from scratch, but I’m slowly learning.

    It’s almost completely copied from another plane though and that one deserves more points @SledDriver

    Great shape, and flies/functions well. Remarkably well done, but you're not presenting it well enough. First of all, the camera is too zoomed out in the thumbnails. Try to zoom in so the aircraft fills most of the view. Second, try a more eye-catching color scheme. This deserves a lot more upvotes.
