Lol, don’t change anything, just keep it in mind. I love the aircraft, it’s just got some strange flight characteristics
@CrushburnHQ

@Alta2809 The whole design might just be wrong tho, Flaps are weird.

@Alta2809 It will still have an effect, the canards will also be in a "lift producing" attitude while they are offsetting pitch.

Yeah, you’re not wrong, but if the canards offset the pitch then the lift will have no effect. @CrushburnHQ

@Mostly Ahh, so just panelling to match the curve I guess, thank you!

@CrushburnHQ You can layer the fuselage parts. One layer would be attached to the main fuselage while the other would be connected to a hinge rotator. (Example) As long as the piece sits flush with the fuselage you can use this technique.

@Alta2809 I actually thought this too, and made them inverted at first, but then looked at flaps of the real life version and they extend like a normal one, so my assumption is, the flap simply pushes air down, it does cause pitching, but it is offset by canards. That is my theory

Hey, I liked your build, just one thing. I know this isn’t a replica but, Shouldn’t a delta wing aircraft like this one not have flaps?i just thought about it and I thought it would instead push the planes nose down, because it’s the same thing when you have flaps down and pitch down. All in all it’s a lovely build. @CrushburnHQ

@Mostly one last thing, how can I get the black part under moving pieces to look flush w the body? I always use a simple rectange, I thought to ask to learn if there is a trick to it.

@CrushburnHQ Oh, I see, my mistake for thinking it was a replica. Overall this is a job well-done.

@Mostly Thanks for the airbrake tho!

@Mostly Thank you really good critique for the most part, but I'd like to say this is not a replica, I pointed that out in the description of the plane as I know some stuff was inaccurate, thanks!

Upon request, here is your 'harsh' critique.
You used a lot of good techniques here, but there are some parts of this plane that are not proportionate to the real thing. (Ex. the leading edge of the main wing leaves too big of a gap between the wing and the front fins, the cockpit/fuselage sections are too thin, the arrestor hook does not sit flush with the fuselage, and the back end of the main wings are slanted too far back) There is a fix for this when making replicas. I recommend using Designersuite if you aren't already using it, it's a lot easier to make accurate replicas without having to eyeball it. The flight model is smooth, and the details are nice to look at. The airbrakes need work, though. You can use thin fuselage pieces to create a curved airbrake piece. (Retracted vs. Extended)
Here's an example of how this works.
