    @AviownCorp Its not so hard. You build each part separately: instrument panel, chair, stick, throtle, pedals. Then each part gets attached to a small "anchor" block that gets nudged away (but still attached). You then grab it by the anchor block, attach that to the plane and carefully nudge the peices into place. Finetuner can do most of the work, but some people position it all by hand. Then nudge the anchor blocks inside the fuselage where no one can see them.

    @AviownCorp Thank you, sir!

    @Megaplanesinc Yellow pride fo sho. (God, I hope ppl don't start thinking we're being racist). A trimotor would be pretty cool, like the one from Indiana Jones. But I've got some wild American racers planned next.

    @TheDepressedPig Thanks Pig! I hope you're feeling better! We miss you around here.

    @CRJ900Pilot Reworded. Good call.

  • Ideas please 7.4 years ago

    @VerySaltySniper No need to thank us, one for all and all for one XD

    @Megaplanesinc Wooohooo

  • deHavilland DH.88 Comet 7.4 years ago

    @aircraftarsenal123 Thanks, I'm glad you like her.

  • deHavilland DH.88 Comet 7.4 years ago

    @MethaManAircraft It takes me about 3 weeks to make a plane, so I try to stick to making stuff I absolutely love. I've tried promising planes to people before and the results were disappointing. I can help out a little here and there on other peoples builds, but I'm not at a point where I can take on whole projects for people.

  • Ideas please 7.4 years ago

    @VerySaltySniper Nah, whenever people need ideas, I expose them to Belphegor. They usually decide anything would be better and set to work building.

  • deHavilland DH.88 Comet 7.4 years ago

    @MethaManAircraft D.W.1 is quite a looker, but I just did two Brit racers in a row. Gonna have to do some Yank planes.

    @Strikefighter04 Apparently. I haven't seen the movie, but I did read that in the "Appearances in media" section of the wikipedia article.

  • deHavilland DH.88 Comet 7.4 years ago

    @GermanWarMachine That is exactly why I made it. Glad you're pleased.

    Impressive as ever

  • A U-Boat Teaser... 7.4 years ago

    Big boat. Type IX?

  • deHavilland DH.88 Comet 7.4 years ago

    @BogdanX Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to try her out

  • deHavilland DH.88 Comet 7.4 years ago

    @Chancey21 Sure thing. It may take me a day to get in front of my PC to work on it tho.

  • deHavilland DH.88 Comet 7.4 years ago

    @Sgtk Hahahaha, thanks!

  • deHavilland DH.88 Comet 7.4 years ago

    @BogdanX Good points I will keep in mind on my next build! Yes, the plane is much more aerobatic than the real one. In reality she had wing loading close to a Spitfire, but the tapered wingtips lead to wingdrops in hard turns, very dangerous. I'm really pleased you like her, and thanks for the spotlight!

  • DS-03 Ekali 7.4 years ago

    @Ephwurd I make replicas, but I try to put an outrageous amount of effort into it and mostly stick to stuff that hasn't been on the front page in a long, long time.

    Scifi builds like this deserve more love than they get.

  • "Patrouille Suisse" F-5E Tiger II 7.4 years ago

    @Sgtk Oh yeah man! I love a good Tiger build. Tried to make one myself but it was a mess. At a time when planes were big, expensive, hard to use and overrated, this little guy was getting it done the right way.

  • How can I improve my aircraft? 7.4 years ago

    @aerodummy Not enough details. I know it's hard to make complicated stuff on an iPhone, but if you want to improve then you have to improve your level of detail. I can upload a set of modded parts you can download and use, and I'm sure there are plenty already available, but more importantly, more detail means it will take a lot longer to build.

  • TEASER: The Nacelles, Sir... 7.4 years ago

    @Awsomur Arrrgh. My wife says the same thing! I actually like the refitted version of NCC-1701 from The Motion Picture. The one with pinball-flipper nacelles. Not my fave movie by a longshot, but my favorite looking ship.

  • TEASER: The Nacelles, Sir... 7.4 years ago

    Not my fave Enterprise but this is certainly one of the best looking builds I've seen.
