@Tang0five Thanks again, camo is just lots of panels twisted to suit, i colour the main panels where i can and just fill in the gaps. now i have a dilema, do i wait to post the seafang (and add some stripes...) or post it now.
@WarHawk95 wow, all I was pointing out was that you didn't bother to build as a successor you just claimed full credit for the build for yourself, which isn't right polite or fair to the original builder, you didn't even bother to credit him in the description...
@Tang0five well the vigilante wheels are still doing my brain cells the world of harm... If only they didn't shake, so I've moved onto the spiteful. Not the most straightforward shape either mind.
I'd love to know the answer, people vote for what they see and what takes their fancy, I've seen builds of mine which have taken a shed load of time and effort flop for no reason (cough crusader cough)
@Rodrigo110 bogdan is correct though, the point of the landing gear being just behind the c of g is so that it doesn't tip over backwards but allows for easy rotation at the correct speed, your build exacerbates the issue by having paired wheels. After saying all that, I still like the look of your build and fully understand wanting to position the wheels where you have, and as it's a game it lets you "cheat" on things like this :) if you have a look at my javelin (which is compatible due to being a delta) you can see the wheel positions, why not do a mkii version with a delta rear wing and more forward gear position for comparison?
@Tang0five well I've got a weekend away at riat with the kids so it will be next week before I start anything. I've got the vigilante 90% done but the main wheels are causing me grief.
@Chancey21 from what I've seen teasers are just peoples way of milking upvotes, oh look what I'm building please upvotes this post, look guys I've added 2 more blocks - upvotes? Etc. But I get your point if it's a worthwhile build and it's more of a tutorial as how to build something np.
@ChiChiWerx thanks, I do try :) I kept cog back well behind where it should be to help with landings after all 3 point landings shouldn't include the nose ;)
@ChiChiWerx about the same, its meant to have a max speed of 460ish at 18k but if i give it enough power to do that it takes off in 10ft =) My next build im going to work on that drag = false/0 on all the parts then add it at the end so i can control the power better (if i remember, old dog new tricks etc).
@CRJ900Pilot @Tang0five @GhostHTX thanks for the comments and votes, note im not massively happy with the wing so might re-build with better trailing edges and dihedral when i get a chance =)
@Carbonfox1 @CRJ900Pilot @BroAeronautics thanks peeps, the cutlass was one of my faves when I was a kid, a friend of the family kept building rc versions :)
@YuraCat right I have just about finished building my entry, so you say no XML modding, all my builds use some shrunk sized wing panels (saves me layering them) is this acceptable?
@RailfanEthan figured it, instead of using the axis I had to use the positive and negative options (with the same axis strangely) which worked. I fly with the joystick on here so disabling it wasnt an option for me =)
@scotttheaviator1031 i build them seperate to the plane, dont use suspension or pistons as I have 0 luck with them (all ways break) and then just attach to a part that I have lowered using overload, use overload to nudge them where I want, tada.
@EternalDarkness yeah I was struggling with that, it's top speed was meant be 1200mph at 36k ft, so to achieve this I needed a powerful engine but as you say acceleration is daft, it was better with a less powerful engine but it was subsonic, is there a way to slow the power down I.e. slower throttle response? I can fit 2 engines so one for take off / flying about and one to get it supersonic. I wasn't keen on playing with weights while it was nicely set up and flying.
@CRJ900Pilot are you using custom control surfaces? If so either increase the size of the wing in the control surface or reduce the size of the wing in the tail.
is this meant to mean something?
@Tang0five Thanks again, camo is just lots of panels twisted to suit, i colour the main panels where i can and just fill in the gaps. now i have a dilema, do i wait to post the seafang (and add some stripes...) or post it now.
@Chancey21 @ThePrototype @Datom lol it takes me a while to get round to tags (it's easier to do on my phone)
@PilotYuston thanks, what do you find difficult about the flying charactaristics?
+1@Tang0five np, ooo a stars n stripes design eh, sounds fun.
Try my latest f8 crusader :)

Do a Mohawk :)
So what about mentioning that this is Zandgard's build and you added some colours to it?
+4Probably, you can change the input to Activate1 and zero on deactivate instead of throttle but you will have full power or nothing.
I always use shrunken wings in my builds, just download one and Nick the parts
+1I'd love to know the answer, people vote for what they see and what takes their fancy, I've seen builds of mine which have taken a shed load of time and effort flop for no reason (cough crusader cough)
@Baldovino you can do it ;) 3 pieces min, it's easy man and much more flexible than stock parts.

@PlanesAndThings2 thanks, which bits did you like best? I liked the engine exhausts :)
@SimpleCreator175 @MethaManAircraft @TMach5 @Sarin thanks for the comments, glad you like it. Any suggestions for improvements?
@F104Deathtrap is this dude the inspiration for your post on limiting forum posts???? He's posted more on the forums than I've posted planes...
+2@JustPlay lol sorry. now i want a fry up.
@AverageFishface @Mumpsy @F4f879 @RailfanEthan @ThePilotDude thanks for the comments, much appreciated.
@YuraCat cool, is there a deadline on this or a limit to entries?

Aw but I like reading the "teaser" followed by the "bad mods" and finally the "I'm leaving" posts.... or maybe I don't... hmm
+7@ChiChiWerx about the same, its meant to have a max speed of 460ish at 18k but if i give it enough power to do that it takes off in 10ft =) My next build im going to work on that drag = false/0 on all the parts then add it at the end so i can control the power better (if i remember, old dog new tricks etc).
ive modified it and posted it as private back to you.
photoshop i would imagine.
+1@CRJ900Pilot @Tang0five @GhostHTX thanks for the comments and votes, note im not massively happy with the wing so might re-build with better trailing edges and dihedral when i get a chance =)
+1@Tang0five thanks man, whats the part count max for your tablet? Ill do a lite version if you want??
@Carbonfox1 @CRJ900Pilot @BroAeronautics thanks peeps, the cutlass was one of my faves when I was a kid, a friend of the family kept building rc versions :)
Aw, cries. I don't think sp is the place to air your issues though. Ps mods try their hardest to help maintain the rules yadayada five them a break
+7The goblin was one of my first builds, inspired me to build more. Nice job on yours :)
@YuraCat well ive posted my entry, Ill let you look at it and decide if your happy with the small bits of scaling ive done.
@YuraCat right I have just about finished building my entry, so you say no XML modding, all my builds use some shrunk sized wing panels (saves me layering them) is this acceptable?
@LiamW it's too fast as is, real one had a top speed of around 115mph. Thanks though.
+1@RailfanEthan figured it, instead of using the axis I had to use the positive and negative options (with the same axis strangely) which worked. I fly with the joystick on here so disabling it wasnt an option for me =)

@Tang0five yeah sorry :) I'll post you the progress later (the wing was doing my nut in)
@EternalDarkness I'll bear that in mind for a future build (I already have a couple started so will be too much to alter now.) Thanks.
@EternalDarkness do you have to do that on each part?
@EternalDarkness yeah I was struggling with that, it's top speed was meant be 1200mph at 36k ft, so to achieve this I needed a powerful engine but as you say acceleration is daft, it was better with a less powerful engine but it was subsonic, is there a way to slow the power down I.e. slower throttle response?

@dogb23boy probably, and to quote blizzards normal response, "when it's ready"
@CRJ900Pilot yeah help yourself, thanks for asking
@CRJ900Pilot thanks, glad u liked it.
@yuracat I'll sort something for this tomorrow, would my recent javelin be eligible if I redid it for this?
@Sarin yeah you can Do, I did a hunter a long time ago (so not awesome) but gave a look and you can see how I did the intakes
Nice, but of work needed on the intakes still though.
@kaaraabiner the camo is the plane, I built the camo as the wing sorry.
