Creative appearance/design that holds together and fliys well in Air Launch mode! (If I did all my spaceships this way, they will look very different, so this is an inspiration).
Okay I'll finally post my latest Enterprise (postponed posts due to inital bad feedback due to other's opinions). It has flaws and we can compare notes.
@maverickvii You build great things, and I've posted at least two Q-400s, but did not get around to putting the new Walrus props on. (I prefer props that provide thrust.)
This requires full throttle to stay level, it's nose-heavy due to the unique Walrus nosecone, and holding pitch up at takeoff is needed - when you exceed 900 mph it's easy to fly. @Beastmode26
Note: just discovered this model will zoom past 200,000 feet and level out around 100,000 feet - the SP "world" sort of disappears somewhere in this zone.
Thanks for the test and comments @ahappyape Since yes I noticed the same features you mention, I can keep all controls glued on at all speeds but then the pitch & roll is much worse, so I posted the better of two experiments.
Thx @Shadowscythe This requires patience to control at high altitude, but the build remains intact at any SP speed. I'm building larger, more stable hypersonic vehicles, just watch for new posts.
Should get interesting.
Thanks @jacobhardy64
@Intencer Here's your first entry. Standard engines (medium jet + VTOL engines) and extreme maneuverabilty!
Just built a fun one, will post it for you "Fun Jet Extreme"
Thank for your testing &comments @Dynimerous
Like it!
Thanks as always for your comments and rating @hypnotoad
Thank you @Rohan
Thank you @Jacobhardy64
Thank you @Mkenz
Nice looks but a Lockheed P-3C has four turbopropellers. Just FYI.
Success! You are demonstrating how to overcome basic SP physics flaws. Like it that the launched plane has the cockpit control!

Great integration of the Walrus props! (Visually appealing props that inhibit otherwise normal propulsion @WalrusAircraft). Well done build!!
Okay I'll finally post my latest Enterprise (postponed posts due to inital bad feedback due to other's opinions). It has flaws and we can compare notes.
I like the base F4f or F6f idea. The real macoy was so high performance that maybe all those body structures could have a rebuild? Good luck!
True VTOL with simple easy forward flight transition! Please build more!
Thanks! @Dynimerous
I'm trying some new methods in SP builds (they aren't obvious) so chat with me on what they are, if curious @hypnotoad. And thx.
Thanks for the compliment @austinowen
Good creative build! It does fly a bit like the NASA Martin X42B I posted last night (also nose heavy, but a good flyer)!
@maverickvii You build great things, and I've posted at least two Q-400s, but did not get around to putting the new Walrus props on. (I prefer props that provide thrust.)
Great idea, just re-build the front plane & keep the tail attached, I'd like to re-test this one!
Hey @hypixel for the Cessna if no one else does it, I'm going to do the push-pull 210 version.
This requires full throttle to stay level, it's nose-heavy due to the unique Walrus nosecone, and holding pitch up at takeoff is needed - when you exceed 900 mph it's easy to fly. @Beastmode26
Thanks, all @carter2 @Swanman
Thanks I'm glad you liked it @jacobhardy64
Thanks I enjoyed making this rarity! @planesnthings
Note: just discovered this model will zoom past 200,000 feet and level out around 100,000 feet - the SP "world" sort of disappears somewhere in this zone.
Flies like a massive brick. Impressive build & looks!
Great design, handling!
@DragonCreations try this one, same wing plan, more speed, fewer control issues.
Thx @DragonCreations I posted an alternative X-6 that eliminates control surface issues.
Thx @ahappyape More folks are copying this one.
This model actually flys, with minor roll issues. Great!
Cool design!
@ahappyape Try this one out, tell me how the two X-6 versions compare?
Looks amazing, wish I could download it on my old Android!
Thanks for the test and comments @ahappyape Since yes I noticed the same features you mention, I can keep all controls glued on at all speeds but then the pitch & roll is much worse, so I posted the better of two experiments.
Excellent build and yes, this is a classic!
Easy to launch, very creative!
Impressive cockpit view!
@hypnotoad Thx, there's little published about the Dynosaur, but I encountered a scaled mockup in my past journeys.
Thx @Dynimerous I removed counter rotating props.
BTW all, the Dynosaur is a real USAF design - but was unmanned.
It was a " look" upgrade with a modded nosecone. Feel frre to copy if the nosecone is useful @ahappyape
Thx @Shadowscythe This requires patience to control at high altitude, but the build remains intact at any SP speed. I'm building larger, more stable hypersonic vehicles, just watch for new posts.
Thx it's just a toy, @Austinowen
Yeah it's a teaser to fly, glad you liked it @TheLatentImage
@WalrusAircraft Great! More helicopters & stranger things will result. Thanks!
