Sweet little kite, old chap. I was designing something similar to follow on from my Broadsword, but you pipped me at the post. Never mind, I'll post it soon anyway. ;-)
The Avro Aircraft Company was founded in 1910 by Alliott Verdon Roe at the Brownsfield Mill on Great Ancoats Street in Manchester. Hope that clears it up. @LancasterAce @WIZARD2017
I didn't want to admit this, but... my initial training and first solo was in a Chipmunk. I can still hear the "Boom chuff chuff Bwoooarr!" of the cartridge start Gypsy Major engine. I guess that makes me officially old.
@GhostHTX Yeah, use full flaps and 25% throttle and pull the nose up to about 5° and she'll settle onto the water nicely. Keep the stick back until speed drops to around 50mph and you'll keep the old feet dry.
@GhostHTX Thanks, old bean, appreciate you taking the time. Poor Megaplanesinc seems to have a recurring problem, however, and I don't know why. Maybe extending the rear float section would resolve it for him. Bloody good to be back, actually - this work malarkey seriously cuts into my SP time!
@GhostHTX Hello, old bean! Sorry for disappearing like a fart in a storm, but it really wasn't down to me. Glad you like my little re-entry project, a quick build with no pretensions. True to form, I didn't check enough before uploading; I really should have noticed that trim problem. To be honest, I don't use trim in the game, because i have no stick forces to eliminate... that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! I love the "buxom" look of copious amounts of wing too, glad we have similar tastes ;-)
@TitanIncorporated I've never actually built a VTOL aircraft, but getting the Cof G right would be my advice. Or cheat and use a gyroscope. Sorry I can't be more help.
Vhere are all the exposed rived-heads, comrade? I will have to dock marks for being unrealistic. Just kidding. Good job as always, you imperialist swine, you.
Lovely job mate! My Bucc had(has) autoroll problems too. I thought it was the offset refuelling probe at the time, but no. Destined to remain one of the unsolved mysteries of our age, methinks.
Thanks for the feedback, and yes, I (obviously) dislike RPAs too, but we meatbags have long been the limiting factor in combat aircraft. Oh to be a "Ghost in the Shell"...@ChiChiWerx
I say, old chap, what a sweet build! A "Rockbeau" no less. And yes, fun is more important than realism, when I want real I head out of my front door. And this overweight little number is potentially as much fun as Ashley Graham in a bath full of jelly. Tally Ho indeed...
@WinsWings well, and the rest of the UK :-)
+1@GhostHTX still struggling on, old chap- I shall endeavour to catch up with you and the rest of SP as and when I can.
+1@GorillaGuerrilla thanks, much appreciated!
+1Spiffing job, old top!
+1Yes, I'm kind of back too.
@Zaineman Hope you're having a good day.
+1@WinsWings I consider myself very lucky. Thanks anyway.
+1@WinsWings thanks, following back.
+1Uploaded my effort. Thanks for the challenge! @WinsWings
+1@GorillaGuerrilla Thanks, that sounds like the way to go. Appreciate it!
+2@WinsWings Thanks
+1I have an entry. How do I make it a successor?
Spiffing build, old chap! Nice to see this old crate in flight mode, even if the real thing was rather disappointiing in its original role.
What a F@**ng brilliant Aeroplane! I doff my cap to you, young James!

Thank you muchly, my fine fellow! Thanks for thejolly old Spotlight, much appreciated@Tang0five
Thanks, but I admit to being was heavily influenced by Cutangus. @Ryn176
Cher Trainzo, vous avez un nouveau disciple! Well done!

+2Take a look at my Vindicator for a bomb bay idea. Adapt it however you want.
@GhostHTX Yeah, use full flaps and 25% throttle and pull the nose up to about 5° and she'll settle onto the water nicely. Keep the stick back until speed drops to around 50mph and you'll keep the old feet dry.

@GhostHTX Thanks matey! Give it a robust test flight, would you? Someone said it tips over.
@Viper3000ad Thanks!
@Megaplanesinc it will if you nose down during take off or landing. Otherwise it's fine.
@Tang0five :-) Hope you like it.
@Minnererg Thanks, bro.
Lovely job, old bean! Awaiting your AEW Nimrod with interest and not a little trepidation... (hint, hint)

@LordSatan You must really be Satan... I've never managed to break it. What's your secret? ;-)
@ThePilotDude Yeah, I messed up during the initial naming. Sorry bro!
@Tang0five Much appreciated, my old fruit. Nice to be back.
Love the style and the logic.
What a little beauty! Lovely handling, and impressive detail. Spiffing build, old chap.
@TitanIncorporated I've never actually built a VTOL aircraft, but getting the Cof G right would be my advice. Or cheat and use a gyroscope. Sorry I can't be more help.
@Tang0five Badgers, Bisons and Bears. Bloody hell, that sounds like a song from the Wizard of Oz...

+1After a work-enforced hiatus, I come back to find this little gem. I think I'll go away again.
@mikoyanster When I first read your comment there were no marks, just the slashes. It's OK now.
+1@mikoyanster Am I missing something here..?
Hmmm. Never made a glider before, but I'm in.
@GhostHTX gourmet burger, of course. Thanks old chap!
@MailboxIsMyGender Thanks bro!
@RamboJutter Yes and yes. Not a well known incident because practically unpublicised. Past "glories" adapted for SP :-)
@RamboJutter Heh heh! just a little artistic licence there, old chap!

Thanks to @JohnnyBoythePilot and @getorge for your spotlights

Good Lord, what a beautiful build. Done with passion and knowledge. Mere words can do you no justice CCW!
