@Chancey21 now theres an idea, i might do something to do exactly that =) and it would have to be my third entry so it would break that rule as well lol
@BurkeEnterprise Thanks =) I was going to toy with counter rotating but the real DH rapide doesnt even have handed engines its just the same engine rotating the same way in both nacelles, i do get what you mean though as i tend to try to counter rotate to look better.
@randomusername stall, as in not having enough air over wings to cause the lift to reduce to the point where it causes either the wing to drop (tip stall) or in this case the nose to drop ( fuselage is square which adds stability, wing shape etc) making the stall controllable. What did you mean? :)
Lol a 19 part jet for a 150part proppellor general aviation challenge, I know ed said he didn't want loads of cessna 172s but this is stretching that a bit :)
@Tang0five I've got sp on my phone as well Now, this is possible but much harder than on my pc... mby my pc is my broomstick, it enables my magic :) I don't mind sharing if it helps people, plus now I have a post to point to when people ask
trial and error, com just in front of col but not too close otherwise pitch is exagerated, if roll is slow move aileron wing further out or main wing closer in etc. all just basic trial and error stuff. it helps to have overload as you can change pitch of control surfaces to cancel out need for trim at cruising speed etc.
@ChiChiWerx well I bought the sp app for my phone Samsung s6. It does take a while to load, but load it does. Just leave it to load and it works seemingly (unless Apple cause issues).
@Tang0five I've just bought the mobile app and flew it around on my phone, it's great, I was even doing inverted circuits :) mby it's just playing it on the phone but once it's off the deck it's no problem at all.
@ChiChiWerx not sure, I had to scale the seats up but barring them and the usual control surface scaling everything is normal. It does take a little longer than normal to load but the game does that to me sometimes... try deleting the seats see if it loads, otherwise I'll try and go over it later to see what's up (it does load ok on my pc)
@EternalDarkness no worries, enjoy. Sorry for load times, i had to scale a few bits, barring that its fun =) Thanks for hosting a competition where i had to build something outside of my normal comfort zone.
@CrazyCatZe I made a load of planes over Christmas but didn't finish them, I also have accumulated a lot of stock parts which helps speed up builds. He seems happy, he's away a lot but gets a free tour of the world
@CrazyCatZe my brother ended up being an engineer for p&o cruises, worked on ships all over the world, he wasn't particularly engineering oriented at school but got a scholarship of sorts.
@CrazyCatZe nope, kinda fell into it, I went to the air force recruitment place and all they had to offer where raf soldiers I.e. protecting airfields etc, ended up with an apprenticeship in construction and been there ever since
@CrazyCatZe ich bin dreizein yahre alt. well i was when i did german at school 20years ago. Your english is fine, my German is poor to say the least =)
@CrazyCatZe not that i know of, camo is too complex a thing for 1 or 2 intakes to be used, hollow fuselage is best made via 10 piece shapes and then colour scheme bit added to it, from my experience anyway.
@ChiChiWerx yes panels are 0 drag and weight, i add weight and drag to a build seperately at present anyway so all parts on my build are like that (thanks for the reminder though as i should have mentioned that.) The panels do stick up slightly, ive found 0.003 above the attached panel is the minimum upstand you can get away with without colour glitches (this will probably vary depending on the size of build and the view distance). Round parts are a pain, i tend to make the round part non-round i.e. a dodecagon by paneling then overlay those panels with the camo wrap, not easy, i try to avoid complex camo when round shapes are involved.
@BlackhattAircraft sorry I'm not a chopper builder, plus as you have seen I've got loads on my plate already.
@BlackhattAircraft are you voting twice there? Or was one your Spanish alter ego? :)
@Tang0five thanks, it has a bit of a twin pioneer/rapide/connie look =)

+1@randomusername not all aircraft stall like that.

@TitanIncorporated ah well i suppose someone has to.... =)
@Tang0five @Aeromen @Treadmill103 thanks =)
@randomusername it doesnt fly at 15mph, it stalls about 40-50ish, the wing area on the stats includes the fin etc.
@TitanIncorporated why?

+2looks smart, i like the unusual uc set up.
@WDRoosevelt no worries =) you could always upvote it as a sort of compensation lol
@WDRoosevelt have a look at hms hood
Drag. Increase drag, voila.
If the photos weren't in the dark we night actually be able to see it... :)
+5@Carbonfox1 thanks :) glad you liked it.
You should have put it in EternalDarkness' competition.
+3@mikoyanster thanks :)
Who?
@mikoyanster did you have a play with the 2 builds submitted? If so what did you think of them?
@mikoyanster but then it will be too easy :) and no doubt crude symbols and sign writing will creep in.
@mikoyanster oh dear, no idea why though.
Wow, and you decided to be illegible, a different font and sized to be able to read it would be handy :)
@SPCWorkshops lol took me a while to figure out what you meant, camo working well :)
@X4JB us platinum builders don't get featured (unless by accident), it's just the way it is.
@mikoyanster gratz on 200k and thanks for the upvotes.
+1@Roswell lol wot. 90% of them are camoed.

@Trainzo @MrSilverWolf thanks again :)
@sexylips35 lol what do you think I am? I'm just a builder, plus I think it's only devs who can change names, so your stuck with that I would think

@AWESOMENESS360 thanks, if i get a change ill get some photos on my dads RC versions which he built from scratch when i was a kid...
@EternalDarkness no worries, enjoy. Sorry for load times, i had to scale a few bits, barring that its fun =) Thanks for hosting a competition where i had to build something outside of my normal comfort zone.
@Spacedoge12345plane have fun :) his artwork is awesome, make sure to credit him though.
+1@AWESOMENESS360 @BaconAircraft thanks guys.

@CrazyCatZe I'm in construction, supervising, nothing aeronautical or particularly interesting.
@CrazyCatZe yep and yep.
@Bmcclory thanks your my 96th customer, only 4 to go =)
