@Treadmill103 Thanks! It really is good fun to zip around in. A proper challenge to land, too. Try it up against my Sopwith Shadow for a really good scrap.
@Tang0five Much appreciated, old bean!
Many thanks! Im lucky - I was laid off just before Easter and signed my new employment agreement on Wednesday. I’ll be ok! As for the invite; we love Italy! Been there a few times now so watch out... we might just take you up on that... @Alien
Most kind of you old boy. Ive been made redundant, you see. This results in me being at home and full time carer for our lovely little man who, at 11 months old requires my constant attention. Cuts into my «me time» most frightfully. It is good fun, though, kids and all that.
I will say that regardless of how slow you build, my dear fellow, you build quality. @Alien
This is exactly how I think of these designs too. These kites might have Tesla lift generators this and ion thrusters that, but they are net energy consumers. These crates still need a whacking great generator to power them and I cant think of a more pleasent genny to have than a RR Merlin or maybe a Bristol Hercules. @RamboJutter
It really was a quick build. The hollow fuselage was a sub-assembly I had and the cabin was just a lot of mirroring. The biggest pain the the posterior was the fact that it is heavy and I had to go back and stuff an additional engine in her, ahem, rear... @Alien
No probs, old boy. I liked the version 1.7 (temperate colour scheme) best. That roll rate is just astounding. Im having difficulty figuring out just how you managed to get enough wing in that tiny span to make it fly, though? Magic? Or did you rub the wings with eagle blood or something? @RamboJutter
That would be my abortive attempt to upload my bush flyer. Lost the link to the competition when I uploaded, y’see... Fixed now, though. This is a lovely little bus, by the way. @Tang0five
Thats very kind of you. But Im not really able to build so very often these days, havent even tried to build a whirlybird yet and am really too old/grumpy/set in my ways. Really very kind of you to offer, though. @MrAspy
Hitched? Oh my yes, but that was almost six years ago; with two little ones too. Hence the requirement for gin. Yes. Im old. This change is one part famillial, one part professional. @Tang0five
@poopatron71 many thanks!
@yoshicraze cheers!
AA support inbound. We are Oscar Mike. Rodger.
Im glad you liked it. It is my first attempt at an airliner.
Awesome! Thanks!
Excellent! @Sgtk
Any word, old boy? @Sgtk
This. @FGW2014 Nice design, too.
Entered? My dear fellow, I never left. Custard Creams!?!? On a tuesday, vicar? And so on... @Alien
Cheers! @Jacobdaniel
Thanks! @ICANTFLY

@Tang0five Much appreciated, old bean!
This was my thinking too. Glad you line it! @TakicraftCorporation
Yes, it is very happy ;-) @jamesPLANESii
Magic. Well, that and the negative air brakes. @Meleme

Ah. Ok. Still, 250 parts or so is more than enough, I think. @Colonel1J2R3Wolf
@SSSvaSSa Much appreciated!
Thanks very muchly! @Treadmill103
@LostNight many thanks!
@Carbonfox1 cheers me old mucker!
A wee bit over the 250 part limit, but I hope it is ok?
A wink is as good as a nod me old mucker, aye? @Colonel1J2R3Wolf
Incidentally; what were we talking about?
Rodger rodger old boy! @Colonel1J2R3Wolf
Oh yes! Very cool.
Tally ho! Watch for the hun in the sun, pip pip, so on and so forth.

Looks like my first serious attempt at a Harrier... Very nice!
You and me both, old chap... @Tang0five
Eagle blood. Got it. Im liking the control surfaces too. All round good build. I like this one too, mind. @RamboJutter

Thanks! Long time no see. @ChiChiWerx
Steeped in haggis, tartan, whiskey, sclerosis of the liver and casual football violence... Just like me... @GreenGiraffeAerospace

Unstable how? And yes, the wing has boyancy, in the event of inadvertent water landing, to allow safe egress. @Chancey21

This is really very good.
Cant believe Ive overlooked this. Ive been meaning to build one of these for a while. This is awesome!
Thanks for the interesting challenge. @jamesPLANESii
Cheers matey! Life is conspiring to eat up all my free time. I will stop in as often as I can... Have some gin ready... @Tang0five
...this uses non challenge compliant missiles. Sorry, but Im calling bs on it beating my MiG @mikoyanster
Massive amounts of fun to bomb around in! Lovely!@Tang0five

Cheers very muchly, my dear fellow!@Alien
Pleased to meet ya. @jamesPLANESii
I’m game.
Oh, and it tirns out those AA-2 Atoll missiles are actually DeHavilland Firestreaks... Deviously reverse engineered Soviet Firestreaks, of course...
Cheers! @TMach5
