F16 Blind Build 1/1 Scale

12.4k DankMeme  7.9 years ago

So I have been building this for the past 2 days and I think it was a success. I didnt look at any blueprints, pictures, or videos of this plane during the build and the only thing i used for reference was an old drawing I made of it. I also made it a 1/1 scale and the accelaration on this thing is insane . Now the easiest plane to land, but very fun to fly around and find some new islands. If any of you see any problems, or things that could be fixed let me know, or make a version on it fixed. ENJOY!

    @DankMeme Alright, thanks. Unfortunately I just uploaded a plane for a tournament and its too large :P. Still fun to fly though (Its another variant of the F-37).

    @MrNarwhal35 no problem at all, also please do not think of me as a gold builder, instead as a friend. :)

    @DankMeme Thanks, its difficult to get noticed at the start unless people look through the "new" category. Its also pretty awesome to know that a gold level builder actually likes my builds. Thanks again, and good luck with your future builds.

    @MrNarwhal35 I did a lil sumthin for you so that you get more attention than what you have. You deserve to be a gold level builder and I hope that more people will come to see all the great planes you put out there

    @MrNarwhal35 Thank you! I didn't relize I had it almost spot on. To be honest I thought when I put this out it looked nothing like the drawing I have but I guess I was wrong. :P

    @SuperSanic Thank you very much, and the way I do my detailing is on planes like my F15 I just looked at all the little parts on the blueprints for it and tried to replicate them. It only takes time.

    Amazing detail with this. Most F-16s on this have fuselages that are too long or just don't look much like an F-16, but this is pretty spot-on. You definitely deserve to be one of the popular builders on Simple Planes.

    @KCferrari Thank you very much, and I also agree with you, the most accurate one I've seen so far has been SR's and it was such a joy to fly with. I don't know how he is able to put a block on one side of a plane and not have it lean to that side but maybe he can help us build better things. @SpiritusRaptor

    I find it pretty ironic that this looks more like an F-16 than most F-16's posted, yet was made with zero references. Not bad. :P

    @Razr i mean i didnt look at any blueprints, photos, or videos of this plane while i was building it. The only thing i used for reference was an old drawing i made of it. I tried to add a lot of detaild that might not be really there but i thought they looked cool.

    @SelectAKey I couldn't find a way to add trim to the XML so that the rotator would have trim, and I didn't draw where the weapons were so I just put 2 guns on it XD Ill upload a weapon using version today!
