@emptybox yes, gyroscope would be nice, but it can be made only with external mods (GyroCockpits mod, too old to be in the mod section). Dissimetry of lift is a phenomenon observed on helicopters of traditional configuration. When a helicopter is moving forward, you have a retreating blade (going back) and advancing blade (going forward). Advancing blade has a higher relative speed to the airflow, and thus generates more lift. Let's say that your rotor is rotating counterclockwise. That will make right side of the helicopter have more lift than the left side when going forward, causing the helicopter to bank to the left.
What troubles you is probably dissimetry of lift, a problem usually solved by allowing blade flapping on real helicopters. The only reliable way of solving this on SP is mounting coaxial, counter rotating rotors. That equalises the dissimetry of lift on both sides. Since explaining what dissimetry of lift is would take a lot of time, I suggest you Google it.
@noscrews take these engines, save them as subassamblies, and put them on your boat. To make a subassambly, drag the part, or a group of parts, to the top left corner.
@OldNewSchool lights are scaked up using FineTuner mod. You can take lights from this vehicle, and you can find FineTuner mod in the "mods" section of the site.
@MechWARRIOR57 it is not light pay wise. If you are doing someone a favor, don't do it for imaginary points.
@xXxMLGDOGE603xXx few of those have already been made. Go to the site's menu, select "Airplanes", then select "Search". That will take you to the search page. Type "bomb bay" into the search box, and select the bomb bay that you like the most.
When adding paint job to the wings, good idea is to use structural panels with the mass scaled to zero. Such panels are present on the wings of the plane I linked in the comment on the previous version of this plane, in case you can't make them yourself. They are also scaled to be a bit thicker than the wing, so that they show both above and below it when positioned properly. Those panels will allow you to make patterns on wings without affecting the performance of the plane in any way.
Yup, looks much better in terms of color. Now, what really sells is details. I could raise the part count of this plane from 40 to 150 parts within two hours, and so can you. You can copy the techniques I used on this plane. They are rather simple if you use FineTuner mod.
@Bob06 dunno, whatever suits your eye. Sports planes are often painted in bright colors, like red and white, lime and black, blue and yellow, etc. You could also try to make wings 3D with fuselage block covers, add exhaust pipe, canopy frame if the plane is supposed to have one, a small air inlet under the propeller, or on both sides of it (can be made by using a fuselage inlet for the nose, and making it a bit wider than the engine). You can also fit the rudder better by nudging it by 0.25 via FineTuner mod, and nudging its hinge rotator by 0.15-0.2. Nudge the vertical stabilizer by 0.25 too. It should look much smoother then.
Probably the best 40 part plane I saw so far. May I suggest you add some details and using the brighter paint job to make it more easily visible on the dark editor background?
Did you actually post a WIP as a build? You could have made a forum post with pictures and a link to the unlisted upload, instead of spamming the hottest section with an unfinished build. Please don't do it again.
@Waemoth have you noticed that bronze guy, RICE if I recall well, spamming comments of every post with his "wanna join my challenge?". By the way, I started a vote on SimplePlanes Masters chat to add you. So far, the vote is in your favor. It's a Hangouts text chat containing the best SP players, mod makers, site moderators etc. Are you interested in joining?
@Waemoth yeah, that would be nice. Also, challenge posts, that would not bring successor points. Challenges made a lot of terrible builders platinum due to successor points.
@Waemoth I'm glad to hear that, m8. I personally love seeing teaser forum posts, and making them (obviously =)). I didn't mean anything bad commenting on your build. I haven't noticed when you went away, but I'm glad you are back. With you taking such a swift action removing those "inappropriate" posts, my respect for you grew a lot.
@Harunami oh, it's not ships that bother me. It has too many parts for my phone anyway. I just thought it would be fun to add some better missiles to my own ships
@Harunami I once tried to make a mod for Android on my computer. Even though I never finished preparations due to my computer crashing, I know that you need Android SDK in order to save for Android. As Gestour said, it can be complicated. If you can't make a mod for Android, I understand. I know a few other mod-makers who also can't, and some of them allegedly have a decent knowledge of programming.
@Harunami I'm Android only user, as my PC is not good enough to make mods (a trash can, really). I'll try to get the guy who knows that stuff.
@Gestour, can you help, please?
Why don't you upload mods? According to what you said, they would be good to have. If you decide to upload them, please upload Android versions if possible, as I don't have SP on PC
@ChasingHorizon don't worry, it's not alone. Anyway with a five mile blast radius, and its speed (try it out, you'll like it), intercepting it is not much use. Also, EMP

@MechWARRIOR57 did you read my comments below? It is possible, and it has been done.
@Johndfg hey, took you quite some time to do that. Just kidding, thanks bro
It's nice, but the bow is a bit too short
@noscrews OK m8
@noscrews take these engines, save them as subassamblies, and put them on your boat. To make a subassambly, drag the part, or a group of parts, to the top left corner.
There are some on this boat. Don't try to adjust the propeller blade thickness, or they will not work.
@OldNewSchool no problem
@OldNewSchool lights are scaked up using FineTuner mod. You can take lights from this vehicle, and you can find FineTuner mod in the "mods" section of the site.
@OldNewSchool what do you mean? It's not using any mods.
@xXxMLGDOGE603xXx no problem m8
Sounds good, @Watcing
@Watcing practice to perfection, m8. Also, you can name your aircraft in your native language.
@MechWARRIOR57 it is not light pay wise. If you are doing someone a favor, don't do it for imaginary points.

Being a bit more imaginative with the name and description wouldn't hurt. Other than that, nice plane.
Download something that has one, and save it as a subassambly. You can find them under radars of my ships.
It is made so in order to reduce lag on weaker devices.
@Bob06 no problem m8. I see a lot of potential in you, and want to help you use it

@AntiSphere if you wanna be a shellfish, I'll be glad to cook you, Trev.
(pun intended)
@MethaManAircraft no problemo amigo
Nice work m8

Reminds me of something
@KerlonceauxIndustries no problem. Just tag me on it when it's out, so I don't miss it
@Shipwright may I suggest a few Dominator class guided missile destroyers to accompany it?
It looks like my Dread class. Such a lovely design. S.Corp cooperating with M.Corp?
@KerlonceauxIndustries of course
@BaconEggs thanks. it's inspired by Su25

First =)
@Waemoth yeah, that would be nice. Also, challenge posts, that would not bring successor points. Challenges made a lot of terrible builders platinum due to successor points.
@SimpleFlow thanks m8

@CRJ900Pilot thanks m8. Actually, I started the plane from the rudder, and made the rest just to make the rudder airworthy. I'm glad that you like it

@Harunami it's not a problem, m8. I'll play with the mod whenever you upload it. It's not like I'm gonna die tomorrow, I'm a bit too young for that =)
@Harunami no problem. I really want to play with some new weapons
@Harunami I'm Android only user, as my PC is not good enough to make mods (a trash can, really). I'll try to get the guy who knows that stuff.
@Gestour, can you help, please?
@Harunami since it's getting late here where I live, I'll probably try the mod out tomorrow. Or I might stay awake for a bit more
@DeathStalker627 kind of. Since both ChasingHorizon and I are good at making ships, there's a kind of friendly rivalry between us
