Gorgeous! I've done several crude variations of the Firefly chassis, and the killer is getting this two VTOL rotating side nozzles attached. Something to think about, I like this first start.
They are amazing, I got lucky. Not "pretty" but they would remove the bow from the USS Tiny. That's why you might want to save this..... I don't post my weapons, since no one has asked for my full set. @AlphaOneIndustries
Thanks for rating @AlphaOneIndustries Thx but this is one I built, it's fairly lightweight. I could drop it for the final Bandit approach into the sea, it survives. The torpedoes are custom-made and devastated the USS Tiny when needed.
@Exumer OK with medium pitch input I can easily flip this model, also. Requires minimal, light, touches to pitch. Roll should be normal. Speed, level is about 3,000 mph. This is a test of the new SP release, and this is.the fastest (not the most stable at takeoff, though) Lockheed model I could do on short notice.
@Delphinus Running on a 3rd generation quad-core Fire HD tablet. I built the Independence Day Mothership, posted from this device. The SP sw has changed something -- they don't know yet how Android mobiles or iOS mobiles will react. I expect upgrades/fixes in the works.
@Delphinus True! Works easy on iOS (my iPhone and iPad Air tablet). But crashes on my Android tablet. AndrewGarrison is receiving my comments and many other comments on this issue.
BTW this model must set: VTOL between top bar & the one below it. This model must launch at 40% or less power for stable flight. Do that, it gives a good ride!
That's OK, glad you could use it. The wing design is based on Learjet, with rounded edges, and it's tricky to do this & get a prop plane to behave. @DefendMyCereal
Thx @Killzone3265 -- You have my permission to simply copy this, and build a better one. I used carefully placed modded parts here: the key is use "unbreakable" wings on swing mounts.
@Farscyt Just based on experience, (the canards are not going to work, delete them) -- add horizontal tails below rear thrusters.
Guess I'll need to create a new Battlestar Gallatica, for a comparison. Maybe.
Impressive WIP. I could add roll/ pitch but this is your baby!
Most accurate 35 Draken on speed -- thumbs up!
Thanks for sharing with the community.
When you post something that will take out the center support pylons on the main bridge, I'll use it. Unless I post it first.
Great one! With the new stock parts, my own Mig-21 model upgrades would probably look like this. Good job!
@Minecrafta15 OK, deal. Look for my posted Mobile Friendly Armed Narada for starts.
Thanks @ramjet

These torpedoes can be fired from aircraft also. They drop to the sea and wreak devastavion!

Thanks @Johawks1976
Thanks! @TheLatentImage Had to try out some new parts. (Now takeoffs are a breeze!)
Neat ejector!
Great push prop (low thrust), good plane!
Thanks @nickasaurusrex
Thanks @nickasaurusrex
Thanks @Mrwhiskers85 I remember reading that, yes, but got only jet engines on SP to reach those altitudes.
Thanks @mohammed
Thanks @Delphinus
Why not like it? It's a very good plane!
Thanks @Delphinus
Thank you @Delphinus
Thanky you @nickasaurusrex Note, FYI the A-12 platform is different from the SR-71, shorter nose + more lift + more acceleration.
@Exumer Please see my updated pitch control description. Note, I've found hundreds of "SR-71s" on SP, none that fly level 3,300 mph.

Great job on the Tornado!
OK @mohammed
Outstanding!
@CraftmasterPilot You may use this model, as well.
Thanks @Eballaaa
Thanks @nickasaurusrex
BTW the Mothership was 1,500+ parts!

Thx, this is an unusually hi-performance SP model. Glad you like it. @CraftmasterPilot
Classic. Well done!
Beautiful, accurate replication (I've seen the real one in it's California museum). Perfect water touchdown & takeoffs!
