Delta Fighter (My First Aircraft, a Thanks for Silver, and a Side of Reminiscing)

Hello all, I just wanted to take a bit of time to say thank you for Silver. You’ve all probably heard these around, but it just makes me happy to know that you all are enjoying my builds. I plan on making a lot more in the future, but since I started high school for the last time, my progress will be drastically slowed. Anywho, let’s stop talking about me (at least for a bit) and talk about my build.

This was the first ever aircraft I made. About 4ish years ago, I bought this game to be able to make and test aircraft that I had designs for in a notebook. And I was not let down. Even though I could only use blocks and rudamentary engines (this was a time before turbofans, afterburners, fuselages, tall landing gear, and way before weapons and cars and helicopters. I mean, just look at the propellers to see how we started), I made this to test out how the game works, and me, being not much older than a preteen, was ecstatic when I made this work. And gradually, I became much better at flying and building. Then fuselage parts got added, but soon I was already unlocking the massive potential it housed.

But even with my F/A-18E reaching now over 20 upvotes, and that being an overall culmination of my knowledge on this game, I know I’m only scratching the surface of this game’s potential, and that everyone starts somewhere. May this post serve as an inspiration to you new builders, and to you who have been here for years. Thanks for your time, and for listening to my little speech. Happy flying, everyone.

Notes of the Aircraft:
This is a very old aircraft, before many items that we all use were available. The physics may not be the same, but it still flies like a dream, if not, even better than when we first started out. It’s agile, it’s quick, and more importantly, I’m proud of it. This is where many of us start out, and it’s amazing to see how one progresses.

Oh, and the props are basically invincible, unless you run them into something.

    @YourWife Ah yes, they were. Times were much, shall I say, simpler then.

    @TurboSnail I have a bad habit of saving all of my aircraft, unless I make a better version of it. Hence why this still exists! I’m glad I still have it though.

    @TurboSnail We all start somewhere, whether that be with a car with mini guns everywhere or an engine with wings.
