I think our paths more or less crossed about this time and I remember mentioning your challenge Lightning so it’s only apt it gets a spotlight! Don’t know about you old boy but before the 1.7 update it was a proper hassle to ‘convince’ parts to attach to each other without the ability to nudge/fine tune. I think it required more ‘skill’ in a way.
Not only does this look amazing, but it also flies!! Shame on SP for not featuring this back in the day - I’ll spotlight before you start building again! :)
Thanks @Badplanesdotnet those wheels/pistons took aaaages to get working. Pistons are not 100% accurate - couldn’t get it to work in the actual position.
Genuinely surprised thus has been build by a bronze player! Roll is a little too quick, stall point seems quite high which can be helped by adding more wing sections. As your on iOS (like me) for future reference I’d pinch some xml modded parts for landing gear. You want parts with collisions disabled (so they ‘tuck’ away into the wing etc) and have the activation set to move on pressing landing gear. All this is impossible to do on iOS alas, so collect parts that have been modded - feel free to save as a sub assembly one of my LGs from one of my builds and adapt it to your build but there are probably way better ones out there! Good luck!
Ok. I paid more attention to making sure things were working but still gave it a thorough set of test flights and honestly did not experienced that effect. @Nerfenthusiast
I’ll have a pint of beer or 568ml beer? There’s no way of escaping good ol’ imperial. I love The US, spent much time there, which state are you hailing me from? @Hedero
I’m really sorry @ChiChiWerx I only just seen this comment now! About the flight model I have absolutely no idea I’m afraid - either it works or it doesn’t. Typically my flying boats would give even Chuck Yeager a hard time! Again apologies for missing your comment!
I do like your boats, surprised I’ve not seen them before! @MintLynx
Very neat, been on one of these at the submarine museum in Gosport!

Only taking advantage of your hectic schedule my good man! Besides, I think they are worthy of so much more @GhostHTX

Definitely deserving of more attention, magnificent specimen!
Thank you kindly as ever! @Trainzo
@SelectAKey and @AWESOMENESS360 thanks guys!
Oh indeed, bang on! @ThePilotDude
Thanks @DestinyAviation happy landings! Thank you @EternalDarkness
I apologise, I seem to have missed a lot of your work - most impressive!
Hello again old sport glad to see you back! Lovely kite and great back story once more!
No worries mate, great stuff! @Datom
Beautiful job, going to test fly immediately!
No problem @SkyFly looking good (and part heavy!)
@Diloph hope this helps!
Will do thanks buddy! @AWESOMENESS360
Will do mate! @TheFantasticTyphoon * its a good few weeks away yet :( *
Thanks @OC3LOT1142 I am looking forward to it and trying not to rush things!
@destroyerP @OC3LOT1142 and @GritAerospaceSolutionsLTD thank you all!!
Most enjoyable build!
Thank you for your advice @RailfanEthan and for spotlighting this!
@USSR and @Hawkeye156 thank you both!
Many thanks all! @Avro683Lancaster @SakuraSaku @AircroftDesign

I’m sorry I didn’t spotlight earlier!
A grand job!
Such a shame, looks promising!

Looks neat! I’d personally lengthen the landing gear and pay more attention to the tail plane, I’ll take her for a spin!
Love the Vulcan!

So the lightning doesn’t handle well at low speeds (-shock-)

Very neat build and I love the concept! I happen to be British and like measurements in old English! :)
You mean a stall? @Nerfenthusiast
That cockpit is awesome!
Yup she will be! With a highly swept wing and large tail fin the real lightning could be a handful to land from what I’ve read. @Nerfenthusiast
Cheers buddy! @AWESOMENESS360
Thank you @CRJ900Pilot i am a fan of tail art!
Thanks! @SelectAKey
Thank you once more for your kind words! @Trainzo
Yeah couldn’t lose the iconic nose intake, thanks for spotlighting once again! @RamboJutter
Ha ha cheers buddy! @MaxB17
Thank you all! :) @BogdanX @EternalDarkness @Wrysen
Thanks! @USSR
It’s like someone fed the Vulcan steroids! Great stuff!
Can’t believe this has been made by someone who is silver?!

Thank you, I think your Vulcan looks great too! @Derpster1341
Did you scratch build this or modify someone else’s work just out of curiosity?
