The small engines are really great. I use them all the time in builds. I suspect you will be several thousand mph with all those engines. Maybe 3,000 mph or more. The issue will be turning. @Nickasaurus
Yep, I know the feeling when things don't go well. What I've learned to do is version my planes after every milestone. For example I may add a wing and some specific angles to body parts and then I will version my plane (1.1 to 1.2). I may end up with 20 or 30 versions of the plane before and complete, that way I can roll back to a previous version if things go bad. I also sometimes copy the XML files to a USB stick. This way if my computer crashes I always have a copy of the plane. @Notapier
@Notapier - thanks so much. It was mostly senior on this one. Walrus Junior helped out with flight testing and some of the finer controls near the end. He also played a lot of Russian music for me. 😊
Thank you. I usually start by looking at the profile of the plane, top down. Once the basic shape is in place, I do a rough body and then work on making it fly. If you get the handling perfect, then you can focus on getting the smaller parts in place (the smaller details). Pay particular attention to how your airplane flies before you add the detail. If you notice that your plane tends to fall nose down then you may want to try embedding small wings inside of the body near the front and the back. Don't be afraid to use modded engines if your plane has no power. Play around with the control surfaces and make sure that your plane flys perfectly well before you start adding detail. I cannot stress this enough. I tend to follow designs on the Internet, so search for your plane and find a version that you want to follo. Look at the characteristics of the plane and the small details. I personally spend 40 to 60 hours on a really good airplane design. I take my time, and try to put all the effort into one solid design.@AndrewHamm
I'm late to the game, but I really love your walker. I guess I've been so wrapped up at work that I missed it. I basically come home, work on the TU-95, and go to bed. Nice job.
That's too bad @Liquidfox :-( When I tried it on a 5s, it did not work on low settings. Medium and high worked. The low physics and small processor of the phone make the engines unstable at low settings. I suspect because there are so many parts. What phone do you have?
Yes, I liked at your plane. Nice job. I have some ideas. Have you tried adjusting the edges on your panel so the panels that meet up have hard edges? @Flop123
@Argosh @Average3323 @Aviation - Thanks for your support guys. My son, Walrus Jr. insisted on playing Russian music while we were flight testing this. It was a fun build, and I wanted to add more detail... but you know... reasons... and growing part counts. The SP community is the best!
@deusalgor - Thank you deusalgor! I don't speak the language, but the VK community is great. I need to pull out google translate to find out what is going on sometimes. People here should check it out sometime. http://vk.com/simpleplanes
Thank you for the invite! @deusalgor

It goes to show you that anything is possible in this game.
LOL, that's true I suppose. Maybe you'll win the competition. @Nickasaurus
@SpiritusRaptor - Yes, but your airplane looks like it should be flown by a stickman.
Excellent job!
Yes, I used those on my design, but then Walrus Jr came along and made a faster turbo prop. 🙄 @Nickasaurus
Thanks. Jr. made a 700 mph non modded prop plane, but I'm not sure if he will enter it. @AndrewGarrison
@Nickasaurus 700 mph.
@AndrewGarrison do we need landing gear?
Don't you start in the air? If so you can lose the wheels. Jr. might enter. He got his unmodded prop plane to 700 mph.
Very agile airplane!
OK, this is unique. I had to fly it of course.
I was playing around with something similar in a Saturn V. It would be fun. 😃
Nice job. Goes to show you that simple is best. Awesome!
I modified the XML file. Each block has a x,y,z coordinate. Unfortunately, you mostly need to be working on Mac or PC to do this.
@ChazPlayzGamez
Once the new parts come out. I think we will all be recalling our old designs
Also an amazing job.
Wow! Great job. You put some thought into this one!
Cool stuff man!
Thank you. I'll keep improving as more parts get released by Jundroo. This was a fun build :-) @Boeingaerospace
Use fuselage blocks. @CarlosDanger13
ahhhh no MAZ?
OK, well I'm sorry
I was late. I was wrapped up with work and my own airplane. @Matthew240
I have not forgotten about you. Go you still need this part? @Matthew240
This is very cute.

@corey1324 - nice to see you here! Thanks for the upvote. I have not seen a plane from you in a while. I hope you are still building.

Yes, I know you are on iOS, but you can still make great planes with fuselages. Keep playing with the parts and angles. You are doing good. @Flop123
Thanks Nick! @Nick7777

I got in the air, shot off my weapons, and then celebrated with a splash in the ocean. It's a neat plane, but I'm a terrible pilot. 🤕
Nice!
Thank you once again my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. 🏁 @Argosh
Thank you @Argosh !
Yes, I liked at your plane. Nice job. I have some ideas. Have you tried adjusting the edges on your panel so the panels that meet up have hard edges? @Flop123
Good Job! We both played it and it works fantastic!
Engines don't like low settings on iOS. Try medium / high. @GearGuy123
@AJosh92FS Thanks!
Beautiful my friend!
Wow! We both looked at this and are impressed. Nice interior as well. Good job, Nick.

Thanks guys. Have a great day / night. @NovaTopaz @Cedy117
Some of your cars are really cute. I'll try some out tomorrow. @CarlosDanger13
