RAZA Dark Matter Ship 10.0 years ago

Thanks @nickasaurusrex -- thought more people had seen the show. Kind of a newer version of the "Firefly" series. The Raza model used on the show is kinda vague, so this one is based on the original artist's concept for the show.

OK, like this concept. Still submit one entry.

Well that expensive trick was needed for carrier ops, I concur. On SP simulation, at least I gave it correct in-flight dihedral wings. Thx @Jacobhardy64

@Delphinus True VTOL in SP is extremely tricky, not suited for this platform model. Gotta start from scratch since my un-posted VTOL model files vanished at the recent SP upgrade. Anyway, thanks for commenting.

Viper D4 10.0 years ago

With VTOL slider full up, this contraption actually flys!

Frisbee Mach 3 10.0 years ago

@Delphinus OK -- I should have specified runways +grass (yes, tested). The Tiny is a very extreme "controlled crash" platform, and you were brave to try it. A completely new model, with airbrakes, would be needed.

Thx for the comment, I can re-build assemblies as needed, just takes a while... @JShay

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 10.0 years ago

Okay. But look at the results. On this parculiar kind of build, the left & right sides are no longer perfectly smooth. I've also posted plane models that worked well, but had non-smooth fuselages. Not going to do that anymore, FYI. @grantflys

BTW @JShay I'll attempt an entry to this challenge, if my iOS platform cooperates. No beta parts needed, but will use your cockpit, of course.

Last Great Jet Challenge by JShay 10.0 years ago

The update already happened on my Amazon Fire Android SP platform -- I lost all planes pending posting and all subassemblies.

Last Great Jet Challenge 10.0 years ago

Flys great, Simple, I like it!

Cold War Lockheed A-12 Simple Aircraft (new) 10.0 years ago

Yep. Gotta use what I've aleady posted, which is only about 1/2 of what pended posting. Now, so far, my iOS version is intact. @Delphinus

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 10.0 years ago

Because I like the Mig-21 design as well! Hint: this type of build where the fuselage requires lots of clipping really cannot be mirrored, gotta do one side at a time, which is slow but effective.

Delta Dart Mk-II 10.0 years ago

Thanks, the key was a very light model with proportional pure-delta wings. @nickasaurusrex

Cold War Lockheed A-12 Simple Aircraft (new) 10.0 years ago

Thanks @jheffernan -- Yes re pitch, but this Heavy model needs to be around 500 feet altitude and 600 mph before proceeding level over the ocean to 900-1,000 mph speeds at 3,000 feet for controlled turning. Ergo, the take-off pitch is strong.

Cold War Lockheed A-12 Simple Aircraft (new) 10.0 years ago

Agree per pitch, this could have been tweaked, but since level, gentle control worked in-flight, the excessive pitch is needed for runway launch. @nickasaurusrex

Thanks @nickasaurusrex -- I lost all subassemblies on 2 platforms due to SP new-releases. But the original simple A-12 design is a very efficient one (built for the USAF as a missile-launching fighter).

flying wing (wip) nose heavy 10.0 years ago

With a test fuselage-rebuild test I got it to perform uncontrolled loops. First, correct the center section wing since there are 2 overlayed (hidden) panels attached. Good luck- it will perform better, maybe, with only half the engines there now!
