Rare Racer "Red Tail" Squadron

Here is my try at Cutangus' "Rare Racer" (a painting on Deviant art).

It isn't as beautiful as the original rendering, but it flies surprisingly well. Here is the link if you want to check it out.

    I know I pestered you for the Ducted fans, and you contacted me a few months back about what I was gonna do with them, and I'm really sorry but I just can't get the damn thing to fly. Hope you don't mind. Sorry.

    @TheRussiansAreComing I have seen a few ways to do ducted fans,
    . One is to build a tube with wing pieces (I would use inflexible pieces) then install a propeller

    inside.https://jundroo.blob.core.windows.net/simpleplanes/GameData/aircraft/406/cWGR8i-UserView-2.png

    Great rendition! On a note related to Cutangus do you know how to make ducted fans?

    @Treadmill103 Thanks. I had to guess on how the elevators were setup because you can't see them in the painting but I think they work aesthetically.

    @Awsomur Thanks! I named her after a painting of the aircraft. It also had guns though. Different setup though.

    @RailfanEthan Thanks! The design credit goes to the artist who rendered it though. I just wanted to see how well it would fly. Surprisingly well actually!

    Also, the fact that a “racer” has guns and bombs is awesome.
