Ive tried two of your models (the red one with three engines and the green one) just for fun, and neither have ailerons or any other method of roll control. They are stable enough, but without a method of controling roll they are, well, difficult to fly.
Im working on it! I promise! Ive been on 10-12 hour days for the last couple of weeks, y’see... That plus two kids below school age is a bit of a tine suck. @Spitfirelad05

You are all most kind!
This is a little rough and ready (work is becoming less of a full time job and more of an all consuming life eating kind of thing)... But I will try to get the description finished today at least...
I know the difference. I recently did a Mk Ia, MkVb, MkIXb,and a couple of Griffon Spits too. Its the depth of the rear fuselage; It might be the angle of the screen shots, but it looks to me like the upper fuselage including the canopy is oversized and the lower, including the engine cowling and the tail fin/rudder is too small. Please dont get me wrong - this is a very good start! @HistoricBirds
Ok, I just read the argument you had with SD.
You got suplexed, intellectually speaking. Hard. Just whipped right up and over. I think you might have popped right out of your shoes.
I say, old boy; would you be terribly put out if one were to - ahem - borrow one of the rocket packs from this kite, for use in another? All credit shall be given, I trust you understand? @RamboJutter
You are most kind. Im a lot less prolific these days too. I guess two nippers, and full time employment do that to you. Im currently working on another biplane for the ww1 challenge, a sports car (because why not?) and an entry to Adlersteiners Luftwaffe Challenge. But the big man upstairs only knows when any of it will get finished. Tag me on your Scimitar, I’d love to see her! @Tang0five
Im just not «hip» enough. That and I dont like making epic teaser posts, which seem to be the thing to do if you want epic numbers of upvotes.
I used to be cool, honest... I @Tang0five
I used to travel a lot with work, but luckily I very seldom experienced this.
One time, though, I had to get on a flight with a complete sod of a sinus infection. I could actually hear the peeeeeeeeeep of the pressure equalisation inside and outside my head.
@pancelvonat Thanks! But my comment was really a general commentary on how random the upvoting can be here. I wasnt fishing for upvotes! You are most kind, though.
This is nice, really nice. I like this a lot, so please do not take what I am about to write next as an attack on you or your lovely superfort: it is more a commentary on the out and out oddness of the upvote patterns of the SP community.
I recently did a B-50 (the younger twin of the B-29). It has custom control surfaces, flaps, usable gun turrets as well as everything this model has. I just want to point out again that this B-29 is awesome.
The B-50 has as of now 9 upvotes. This model (which I think is comparable in quality to mine) has, at the time of my typing this, 40 more.
Now, I dont build for upvotes, I really dont, but I just dont get it. Is it because I smell or something?
Its ok. You made good points. I knew about the canopy hood - early mk1 Spits had the smaller hood too. I didnt know about the exhausts, though. Every days a school day! @WarHawk95
Its ok. Im glad you like it. I guess Im getting a wee bit touchy in my old age. I look forward to seeing your mk20! Tag me when its up?
Do you really think it is the cockpit that makes the difference in terms of d/l? Odd... Anyway, here is a spot and an updoot. @logizAircrafts
@logizAircrafts I just think it is a bit off that you liked my Spitfire enough to make your own version, but you dont even mention that pretty much 99% of it is my work in the description, thats all. The d/l and u/v thing is really a secondary consideration.
You are correct. This is a repaint and slight adjustment of my Spitfire Mk1. Thanks for the aggressive pedantry, though. Always appreciated. @WarHawk95
Hey, dont let me stop you. You do you! Tag me when its done?@DPSAircraftManufacturer
Pretty much. It wasnt planned that way, but it turned out ok-ish. @DPSAircraftManufacturer
+1Cheers! If I did this again I would focus on making her fly better. That and a wee bit mire detail. Glad you like her, though! @Texasfam04
+1@Tang0five
+2Cheers matey!
@Stalinity @Spitfirelad05 @sexylips35
+1Many thanks, much appreciated!

Nice a*se...
+1@AdlerSteiner Em... oops? This was meant to be an entry to your luftwaffe challenge. For some reason it isnt a successor... Will you accept it still?
Rocket interceptor with prone pilot. Instructions soon, but the wee man has a fever and lots of snot, so no time for me, Im affraid! @Tang0five

Please dont get me wrong - this is a very good start! @HistoricBirds
This is cool, but I have one or two small suggestions?
1- the canopy looks too big and the prop spinner too small. Maybe make the spinner bigger (i.e. Thicker).
2- the guns were not evenly spaced on the wings. There was one inboard, two paired just outboardof the landing gear and one further out.
3- your fin and rudder look a wee bit off in shape. In fact, the rear fuselage looks too deep in general.
Otherwise very nice and;
COOL BEANS.
Yeah, Im not too popular, for one reason or another. I really appreciate the support, though! @JettStorm
If memory served me correctly, the square trigger was only on the cannon armed Spitfires.
Ok, I just read the argument you had with SD.
+1You got suplexed, intellectually speaking. Hard. Just whipped right up and over. I think you might have popped right out of your shoes.
@EternalDarkness I think this thread needs to not be here.
+1The pilot dummy is somewhat under scaled. Also, thanks for the upvotes! Did I win something? @JettStorm
I am in.
+1Oh that will do nicely. Many thanks. @RamboJutter
Perfect. This will be put to very good use. Spiffing, old boy, absolutely spiffing.
I say, old boy; would you be terribly put out if one were to - ahem - borrow one of the rocket packs from this kite, for use in another? All credit shall be given, I trust you understand? @RamboJutter
The tail wheel is castoring and rotates freely. I think the real Spit maybe had a locking mechanism but I couldnt be sure... @Spitfirelad05

Very nice. You’ll be spotlighting me, soon enough.
+1Part count of the beast. Very nice SD!
+1Well it certainly wasnt a pleasent experience, thats for sure. @WNP78
I used to travel a lot with work, but luckily I very seldom experienced this.
One time, though, I had to get on a flight with a complete sod of a sinus infection. I could actually hear the peeeeeeeeeep of the pressure equalisation inside and outside my head.
That sucked.
A hurricane is indeed possible. Probable, even. @Spitfirelad05
Very cool!
Thanks Spitfirelad05! @Spitfirelad05
Cheers! The Wurger was one of my influences! @Spitfirelad05
Hey, what can I say? Im like chopped liver over here... Thanks, though! @ChiChiWerx
Im struggling to believe that this is possible with less than 1000 parts. Well done.
Thanks! @ThePrototype

+11Yep, based on the River Clyde to the west of Glasgow, Scotland. They never really built anything like this, but I really liked the name. @Boundslayer
This is really very good. Very very good. @Tang0five
It looks very nice. Did you smooth out the tail fin? Overall an improvement over my model. Well done!
Tally bloody ho!!!! @Tang0five

Seriously? Youre going to ignore my comment? Not even an honorable mention? @logizAircrafts
I think a version 2 is in order...
... not in this case... I didnt think of that. This is a two blade constant speed job. @ThePrototype
You are correct. This is a repaint and slight adjustment of my Spitfire Mk1. Thanks for the aggressive pedantry, though. Always appreciated. @WarHawk95
