We are in the same boat....i havent been able to build anything for awhile. I am building for another challenge now though. Besides challenges Ive lost all interest.... but i think part of the reason is as we learn to build better we put more pressure on ourselves to build at a acceptable level....i have a lot of little builds that i prob wont finish because they didnt pan out....
hey long time no see! yep im in another building rut but decided on a new build today. when i get it to testing phase ill upload a unlisted for you.@Homemadeforthepros
great job! i think with a few changes this could be even better! MY THOUGHTS FOR IMPROVEMENT
1. Change the vtol rotation from pitch to vtol, it makes it troublesome to hold pitch down to move fwd. Or use trim since trim isnt really a factor with this craft.
2. Add some more detail to engines, intakes, etc...
3. use scaled weapons so they fit a lil better.
these are just my opinion im not saying im right but these are a few changes i would make.
Im in a building rut, i have started half dozen different builds and i dont want to finish any of them lol..... maybe a big bowl of wheaties will help :-D
@FGW2014
Actually....I forgot it may be called something else outside the US. A intercooler here in the US is typically used for super or turbocharged engines...The radiator is the source for cooling down naturally aspirated engines. just fyi... LOL this is pretty good though either way !
I think it may have been a variant possibly. There was several dogfighting challenges around that time. I do remember the DF. i think it did pretty well.
@Rawhide
awesome thanks for uploading this Derek! I am new to the xml stuff so my sub assemblies are chaotic which doesnt work well with a old grizzled ocd
derek congrats on hitting plat and for maintaining your sarcastic sense of humor in these dark days..... lol
im interested
ill help u if you decide to.
@EliteArsenals24
I still think you should put together a challenge....like a gizmo / weapons challenge

NP, congrats on hitting 80K , quite a accomplishment @RailfanEthan
Nice! I have no clue why but it wont load for me....but, its looks nice and looks like you put a lot of effort into it. good job
very nice!
TY for the upvotes !
@VeryUnprofession
@FastDan
ok thanks for the info...
@JetFly
you know its possible to use multiple devices right? I upload off my ipad most of the time but I also use my PC when i want to edit something.
@JetFly

awesome! quite interesting you did this i was just thinking abt building a amazon drone...:-D
Beautiful! Alas i cant use it due to the part count but it looks great FG!

@FGW2014
Great Job!
with a little fine tuning this build could probably use the VTOL system i built for my EDGE plane. ive always liked VTOL capable planes...
@DerekSP
Nice work Derek!
check this out...

did you mean a radiator?
Glad the bears didnt find you....that wouldve been unbearable!
@FGW2014
TY for the upvote !
@FGW2014
hey not sure if you want to mention to mikoyanster abt your build. its not showing up on his pre-results grades..just fyi
@FGW2014
Can it be fictional ?
@LACONNE
Nice build and congrats on hitting plat!
Congrats!!! keep up the awesome work!!!
To your knowledge has anyone ever built a engine like this on here before that is this detailed?
@Blue0Bull
AVROCAR
Just my opinion but I think FGW2014 is one of the brightest rising users...yes he recently hit plat but his builds are incredibly unique and detailed.
I think I have to agree.....somehow LOL! I find them to be quite boring...anything I can buy a ticket for doesnt seem very fun....
@Stellarlabs
Can anyone even use this? I have a good pc and it runs extremely slow.....just curious
I AGREE! I have no clue how the 1st mention was even funny. Just plain stupid.
THIS is the latest variant of that body style. I think it flies much better. nothing great but it seems to do fairly well in dogfights.
@Rawhide
cool, the "X" series was also used as early test beds for the thrust vectoring engines i uploaded last month.
@Rawhide
TY for the upvote! I built this for a UFO challenge that was later deleted but it was based off the Texas Cube ufo sighting.
@Rawhide

@Rawhide
welcome back!!!
Cant wait!
Simply Awesome!!!! i probably cant use it on my ipad but its clear to see the amount of work that went into this...WELL DONE!!!
occassionally they will have a squad come in to work at the jrb, the sound they make is so awesome!
@AceOfSpade
nice job! if you like the osprey type of planes check mine out VX50
its ok i do my builds on ipad also and im learning to use overload for xml editing so we are good.
