@CRJ900Pilot I only bring it up when people use the magic words "What should I build"
Also, you should. Everyone should. The Belphegor should be the most sickeningly popular plane on here! More played-out than the Mustang, Spitfire, Messerschmitt and Schwalbe combined.
@Sheeper Oh, so it's really a combat aircraft. I understand now. The A-26 Invader was like that, a bomber that was refitted to fight fires and then refitted again to secretly drop "supplies" for the CIA.
@AdlerSteiner You can XML mod structural (non flappy) wings to have control surfaces. You can also XML mod wings so that they no longer have wing physics (and don't cause problems, or have lift).
I'm sorry you feel left out, thats a crummy feeling and I hate it too. On the upside, @DisferGoatz has just given you the best advice anyone is ever likely to give anyone else on here.
@Chancey21 I can't find it. It could have been some other radial engine fighter, possibly not even an American one. If I ever see it again, I'll link you to it, but for now just forget I opened my big fat mouth.
There is a method of creating an alternating checkerboard pattern by rotating nearly identical cylinder pieces. I've never tried it, but I have seen it done. (I think it might've been on one of @Bogdanx planes). It would save a lot of parts.
@Minecraftpoweer When I start a project, the first save is called A1, the next step is A2. By the time I get to A20, I start saving over A1 again. I used to no overwrite at all, but deleting 50 saves at the end of the project was a real pain.
@QingyuZhou I dunno man, your Huey has over 3,600 downloads and only 67 votes. I highly doubt that only 2% of the people who downloaded that thing liked it enough to upvote. More likely, most of them just don't have accounts.
@QingyuZhou Most users dont have usernames. I think only like 10% of users bother registering on the website. We are literally surrounded by silent masses.
@plane918273645 Oh, I'm not concerned about my relative rank. My biggest problem is how slowly I build things. I just like the idea of building things suitable for most people. There are some that demand too much, part counts below 200 for example, but something the majority of people can enjoy.
Download someone elses plane, pull off the parts that have the XML magic you need and use them to build landing gear in the appropriate size and shape for your plane.
Download my A-26 and pull the wings off. Save the pair of them as a subassembly and use them whenever you build anything. Easy as eating pie. They even have built in flaps but be careful: AG-8 disables the ailerons.
@PlanesOfOld I'VE SEEN THAT ONE! Very impressive that you got the shape so close with only panels. At least I think I saw it but I can't seem to find it now. Did you upload it?
@ChiChiWerx What you say makes perfect sense, but I was referring to the back rather than the front. Like a C-130, a tail door may not be as aerodynamic, but it does allow air drops and there's less equipment to the back of the plane to worry about.
@MasterGunner51 I'm glad you like it! Yes, there aren't many seaplanes on here, and fewer that fly well, so I tried my best to keep the controls fun and sharp.
@Freerider2142 They really, really don't. I tried to pull a fast, nose-up stop in the Huey one time, got some pretty heavy buffeting, I forget the the term for that kind of stall but it was a very loud rodeo for a minute there. Then there was a big shudder and everything calmed down, nice and quiet, just the sound of the wind. Not bad at all untill I noticed the rotors flying through the air about 200 yards to the east. I had snapped the mast and it was a long way down.
@Chancey21 I've seen at least 3 decent P47's, no idea how they flew. As for the Widow, theres a decent one on here somewhere. If you want to really wow people you should make the P-61R/F-15 Reporter. Faster, sleeker, and quite striking.
@Ryn176 XD

PZL M15 "Belphegor"
You're welcome.
Stealth for firefighting?

+1@Freerider2142 Not that Hurricane, this one. If I had to pick a WW2 fighter I'd go with the Corsairs big brother, the Jug.
And yes, Eve is the most insidious time vampire ever devised.
+1@Freerider2142 Same! Second only to the Hurricane. I miss Eve sometimes, but good lord does that game become a second job.
+1This is good work, very faithful to the real thing. Always good to see an important plane get the attention it deserves.
Brutor Tribe!
+1@rbiemer And thus, you demonstrate thevmost important virtue for success, tenacity.
+1Have you been posting planes a lot? The site only allows 3 per day.
+1Because we all want to be reminded of that lovely pile of... unpleasantness.
@Minecraftpoweer Oh, it's a meme, those are never political. Listen man, this stuff got old on facebook, don't bring it here.
Not quite a 1:1 ratio, but she's got the look. Beautiful job.
So not only are you posting political garbage, but you're also trolling someone. Good job.

But my favorite is this
Led Zeppelin is a good introduction to classic rock, but it's a good idea to dig deeper.
@RailfanEthan May your mighty noodles entangle all who oppose you
@RailfanEthan You sure do love pasta

Shoot everyone, if that fails then try stabbing them.

@Chancey21 Yeah, I'd be like "Up yours 104, I spent a long #$%@ time getting it right and it's beautiful" if I were in your shoes XD

@QingyuZhou I did not know that. Strange rule.
@Minecraftpoweer I hate how you have to load them to delete them
@DerekSP Mathematics in action!

When you run out of ideas, you have to make the M15 Belphegor. Those are the rules.
+2@TheWhistlingDeath Oh! Yes, that can be a real headache. I still can't figure out how they cram all that mess into some of the Migs. Good luck.
A little more math and you could've made adjestments to zoom and light exposure.
I used to play the harmonica, but they frown on that at my current job so I had to give it up.
OK

@ChiChiWerx Kind of looks like the xenomorph from Alien doesn't it?
@LegnaK Overshadowed by WW2 mostly. But the personalities, chaos and innovation is far more complicated and interesting.

@Freerider2142 I've heard of resonance doing some nasty things to aircraft but I had no idea it could get that bad, especially on the ground.
