@OverlordAeronautics2 nope, no swashplate. Three bladed rotors are a gray zone between four bladed ones and two bladed ones, without benefits of either. Thanks. Lol
@Alienbeef0421 side project. I couldn't make myself delete that cute face (front view), and building it was too fun, so I uploaded it. I didn't leave room for details, as I wasn't planning to add any when I started it.
@WNP78 infrared seeker head is missile-mounted. On older models, like AIM-9 Sidewinder, it points where the missile is flying. On newer, like IRIS-T, target can be kept locked on at a large angle.
@CALVIN232 eh, you could use a few punctuation marks in that wall of text. I barely read it. Anyway, we take good guys, active on the site, friendly to other users, building very nice things, and being here for a while. Since we vote for new members, there are many that I would add, but others vote against them, so not all who match what I said get in. We help iOS users on the site when we have the time, and when the build is interesting to us. There's no rule about it. For now, I would recommend joining SP Builders group on Discord. Most of the active users from Masters are there, as well as many other great guys. I currently hang out there more than on Masters.
@Viperfox eh... you didn't read quite well, did you? What we said is exactly the opposite of what you are saying. We are just guys who are good at this, and who don't behave like you do. "Masters" is just a name of the group. We support quality, and yes, we only take good builders. But being a good builder is not all it takes. Some guys are not members for dumb reasons, like talking like you did in that comment once, urging us not to add him, in order to keep our chat clean. We support other, more open groups, like "SP Builders" group ran by Dllama4, and as of recently "Underlings chat" ran by Supercraft888, both on Discord. We also support a group of users from Philippines, on Google Hangouts, which is a closed group. We are trying to help new users get better, we often help iOS users with their builds, we are trying to keep the entire community clean by keeping an eye out for stuff to pass directly to moderators, etc. I don't see what we did to deserve comments like yours.
@Planefun thank you. I understand that maintaining a plane costs a lot. However, you will notice the difference in manufacture and maintenance costs between Russian and American planes, for example. Let's say, you don't design brand new electronics for a plane like this. Its role doesn't require it. Take stuff from already existing planes, reprogram it for this plane's specs, and you have part commonality. Also, you can use cheaper components, due to them not being under a lot of stress. For engines, you use cheapest you can find or produce that will give high enough power output, which further reduces costs. If you already have those on another plane, that lowers development costs, and thus, production costs. Use all the parts that you already have, that fit on this plane, to further reduce costs. If you have a same fuel valve on ten widely used planes, you can mass produce it, making it a lot cheaper than if it was made on order. There are many cost-reducing measures one can take, that could, theoretically, lower the price of a plane by as much as 30%, and maintenance by 20%. Of course, I'm not really an expert on this, and this is stuff I got from my knowledge of how manufacturing works, and some internet research.
@Planefun yeah, but this one would be cheaper to maintain than a comparable plane of, let's say, US origin. Cheaper parts, simplified mechanisms, more durable components. Cost is, of course, weight penalty.
Welcome back, m8
@Sparrow007 thanks
@Cedy117 :)

@Fluffy41000 I took some inspiration from Super Puma
@ChasingHorizon I used Eurocopter Super Puma for reference.
@BaconAircraft thanks man
@F4f879 I'm glad you like it
@MEERKAT978 it uses stock prop engine, which doesn't have dissymmetry of lift.
@Planefun @Weaverfish @F4f879 thanks guys
@melojam yup, I took inspiration from Puma
Congrats m8
@CRJ900Pilot scaled balls nudged into fuselages. I can proudly say I invented that trick :D
@FlyingThings M.Corp, making fictional things look real since 2016 :)

@Dimkal ooooh, I forgot to put something in description :)
@BogdanX thanks for the review. I think you are the only one doing those.
@Solarisaircraft I'm glad you like it
@BogdanX thanks
@Redstreak45 yup. It's a cruise mode. In reality, it would be rotor only, but I can't achieve the right speed like that on SP.
@CRJ900Pilot @Redstreak45 thanks guys
@EpicPigster1 no problem
No problem @Vins

@Squirrel maybe. IRIS-T sounds like something I would like to have on my planes.
@gkrisko9 no problem
@CALVIN232 here

Maybe you should have pushed those engines up to keep them clear of water. Anyway, not a bad upgrade.
MiG-21
You scaled width with Fine Tuner with "Scale only selected part" unchecked
@AudioDud3 well thank you :)
@AudioDud3 it's old and ugly. Looks like a cartoon weasel with that nose
@PandaGamer no problem buddy
@PhantomBladeCorp no problem
@Planefun no problem
@Yellow lol, you are a third person to tell me that
@CoolPeach no problem
Very nice. Amazing details, especially for an iOS build.
@aseder no problem. It's a very good looking ship. Missiles are a bit difficult to point in a right direction, but can be used.

@IguasOs yup
@EternalDarkness sure
@Mentos Overload mod and Fine Tuner mod. They help a lot with building. They take some getting used to, but are necessary for small details.
@OverlordAeronautics2 that's the night sky. I have kept the older version of Designer with vehicles mod
@AdrianFlyingAce I might do that someday
We need these
