It's a nice plane, but it is a bit unstable and easy to stall. If you move the CoM forward a bit it makes it a lot easier to fly. You can do that easily enough by just removing some of the fuel from the rear fuselage pieces.
Absolutely amazing. Your last Sukhoi was one of my faves and this one is even better. I still am blown away that you manage to do this on an android device.
@A5mod3us The wheel physics is definitely not right and this is a great test case. I'm working on improving this today and this plane should be a lot more stable in the final version. In fact, I've moved the rear wheels forward a bit and it still feels very stable.
@TheOwlAce Are you running the beta version of the game? Did you unzip the beta testers only ZIP file and run SimplePlanes.exe from there? You cannot download airplane files and double click them to open them, you'll need to copy the URL of the plane and then press CTRL+L in the designer to load the plane. This won't be necessary after we release the final version.
@WalrusAircraft lol, your solution looked great! We will keep thinking of how to improve the landing gear. I think they are still greatly lacking in terms of flexibility.
It's beautiful. I love looking over the details and seeing how you put everything together. Nice work! Why didn't you use the new landing gear on the wings? I was surprised to see fuselage sections!
@simpleplanesmaster @Dullwolf @Blitzkrieg We plan on releasing the next version of the beta this week. If you are on iOS, you'll need to signup here:

Clever.

Whoops, I featured it a bit too early. Remind me to feature this once the update is out for everyone.
Incredibly fun to try and land this beast. The engine clearance is so low that it's really challenging. Excellent work!
@Authros Ah clever technique. Well, if you want a copy for PC/OSX you have certainly earned a free copy.
@KingDeadshot We are hoping to release the update later this week or early next week.
@KingDeadshot What's up?
Awesome.
@ImFauxReal He's back! You were the number one player for a LONG time with those bat planes!

@TheOwlAce Make sure you have downloaded the latest version. Check here for instructions: http://imgur.com/a/m6Mo5
@WalrusAircraft yep, the structural panels had a bug in them that caused excessive drag. This should be fixed in the next update.
This should be cross posted to /r/aww
I don't dig the paint job, and it's very hard to fly, but it's a cool design.
@XVIindustries It looks awesome!
@XVIindustries That's great! Can't wait to see it.
@XVIindustries Please give me a plane link.
@EglinAFB The new release will be out soon. This week or next.
Nice build, I haven't researched the accuracy, but it looks nice and flies great.
@WalrusAircraft That's great to hear!

@CINCIndustries Yes, we have and we're also curious why you are using their same IP address.
The pitch control on this is insane!
@TheOwlAce What device?
This is more fun than the game itself!
@nickasaurusrex that's great!
@Bmw1230 You can still use the old ones, just download this design and then create a subassembly out of the old prop engine.
@mattmck just extra weight so it won't tip over.
@Bmw1230 I had to add blades until the new one's had a chance of winning! Those old prop engines packed a lot of power in a small space!
Nice little plane! Really touchy on the roll though.
@Homersdonut If you delete planes you will lose any points associated with that plane.
Nice!
Your designs are so unique.
You're an artist.
@Stingray what device are you on?

@Johawks1976 We are hoping it will be in everyone's hands by the end of this month.
Looks awesome!

@Gg1234 Best place would be Gumroad for PC. You will get a free Steam key when it comes out on Steam later this year.
@Mkenz You should get all betas from now on.
@IMDABEST Yep, we will fix that in the next round.
@kikasshes Yep, I was just testing some stuff with the upload process. I deleted the upload aircraft.
Gorgeous!
