Very nice! I noticed the plane doesn’t have trim controls though, if you want you can use this « Pitch + (Trim * .5) » in the rotor input. Nevertheless, it’s a really good plane. You captured the shape really nicely
Oh it’s an easy fix to model accurate speed for a plane @AkasukiNomura
First it to make sure that the drag points are a good number, not too low or the plane will accelerate too fast, not to high or the plane will not reach high enough speed. It doesn’t have to be rocket science, a ballpark estimate is good enough.
The second is to make sure that the engines have accurate horsepower. The slider can make quick work of it and using the XML mod can be used to set the proper value. But more importantly is the propeller pitch. If you’re building a plane that has fixed pitch propellers, try to find the sweet spot of percentage that will get the plane to the speed you want it.
It’ll take a bit of tweaking and testing but to make things go faster apply trim and speed up the game to see what the top speed during level flight.
I hope this helps
What a wonky little dude. Has the wing placement of a American experimental fighter, the looks of a French plane, and there engines of a British heavy fighter. Plus the very American propane tanks and a gunner shoved behind the pilot. The landing gear retract into where radial engines would be but I’ll over look that for now.
What a… delight to behold.
In all seriousness though really cool plane. Kinda like a premi he 111 with radials and some fun features. I really like the landing gear, very exciting movements. Neat plane!
Pretty cool plane. The only problem I see with it is the speed. This thing goes 555 mph which is musty faster then the actual top speed of the Ki-57. Other then that it’s a good plane. I especially like the landing gear!
This is right up my alley!
I was planning to work on a seaplane for another challenge, but since this deadline is far away in looks like I have time.
I also have a question for the visual category under “How good it looks”. Is it judging the quality of the plane or how inoffensive to the eye it is?
Because I have an idea to make the lovechild of a Blackburn R-1 Blackburn and a Avro 555 Bison that grew up but stoped half way through childhood. In essence, the most horrendous aircraft to ~maybe~ fly.
If not that, then an Airspeed As. 4 Ferry or some drunk Caproni bomber.
Oh cool! Reminds me of a Airship Carrier project I tried building a while ago. I could never figure out how to dock the aircraft to the airship once I launched them though. Kinda wan to dust it off the shelf now.
Beautiful work @Beasthunter
This is just the challenge I was waiting for! I had so many questionable designs in my head waiting to be built.
Wait, they have to be fictional right?
Okay, so I shelved my last idea. Now it has turned into a mix between a TB-3, the German plane from The Wind Rises, a P.108A and something with too many engines because it is now overweight with how many guns guns I’ve stuck on it. Good thing there’s no minimum speed requirement in this challenge.

Nice tank
+2Panzer IV long guns are my favorite
I made it with photoshop and google slides @RNManufactures
+2Glad to see my Kestrel Bis is making a difference in the war effort, even better to know that a pilot made ace in it!
I guess it ain’t a widow maker no more
+2@BeastHunter
+2@Jwpdaviesjr
@Aviator01
Cool plane! I really like the tiny canopy windows
+2Beautiful aircraft
+2Time to let my imagination run wild
+2I guess that means that people don’t have enough time or everyone is making fantastic tanks that’ll blow anything I have out of the water @Lake
+2I’m amazed with how are able to get this much detail with only 83 parts! Looks great!
+2@ThomasRoderick thank you! It’s nice to be back!
+1This is a really cool aircraft! And the glass for frantic idea is super smart!! You get my upvote
+1@Bryan5 thank you!

+1Since the aircraft is from the Korean War, I’ll need the more modern roundel with the red stripes @HuskyDynamics01
+1Like this one
Very cool!
+1Thank you@HuskyDynamics01
+1Thanks @HuskyDynamics01
+1For a second I though you used a really big torpedo for the hull
+1I’m not sure if Marineon should be afraid or find a way to kill these things
Holy Smokes! Guess I’m making torpedo boats then
+1Cool
+1T
+1@Newcountiva I don’t know how I feel knowing that this plane is my Kestrel’s replacement. This plane is really fast though
+1I found me
+1Neat
How detailed does it have to be?
+1@IceCraftGaming Don't know if you wanted to be tagged or not, sorry if you didn't
+1T
+1Looks great!
I’ve sent in two aircraft. They might be a bit late to help though.
+1Cool design, the nose is very interesting. I like it!
+1Thanks @Jabuticaba23!
+1The Wind Rises is one of my favorite films
I remember making a model kit of a ki-45 a long time ago. Very nice
+1May I use the rear machine gun mount in a plane i am making?
The details are fantastic!

Here’s my entry, it didn’t auto credit for some reason though @Simplememes
+1https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/xTpyS1/Saki-Liden-R25w-Reconnaissance-Tank
Can I submit multiple builds?
+1This is just the challenge I was waiting for! I had so many questionable designs in my head waiting to be built.
+1Wait, they have to be fictional right?
Are aircraft from any era acceptable or only modern aircraft?
+1Dang. This look really good

+1Neat
+1Thank you for your judgment @BlackThuNDR, I am pleased to know that this egg of a tank will take part in your egg wars series. Have a swell day
+1Keep up the good work! I always enjoy seeing a new vehicle.
+1Does the aircraft have to be a monoplane or can it be a biplane?
+1Thanks for sharing this information, I was planing on building a armored vehicle eventually. This helps a lot!
+1Neat boat tank thing? Looks pretty cool.
