I successfully completed two long flights; which I began my flights from the "Bandit Approach" and landed at Yeager Airport. Although it was slow, it felt like meditation, and I was able to control it mainly through trim and roll. The flight was gentle and powerless, and the landing was smooth. This is almost a close replica of the Fauvel AV.36, a single-seat tailless glider designed by Charles Fauvel in France during the 1950s. Specially made for my friend @TheGliderGuy 's challenge.
This plane is so cool, Sadly, I am running out of my spotlight limit since I was using it for the winners of the Seaplane Challenge. I am posting one of my build (a sedan) posting near your Beechcraft Kingair. Thanks,
@001 I don't think you value my work or know how hard to make a working VTOL without any wings and rotor blades. So better get out of the challenge. I will post it for my own later. This is one of my masterpiece that I am proud of it,
@Rb2h Well, I just put down my idea on a piece of paper anywhere I found before I forgot my thoughts- and as you said, my sketch must be bent. It is just a 5-minute sketch. and very loose. If I want it serious I use Adobe Illustrator.
Great job with your PEA staff, but I missed your nice shots with the detailed builds. Well, I am a kind of PEA type of person in reality. I can't focus on a single project for more than a week. If I can't finish within a week, it never rolls out.
@CalabooseCal No, I haven't continued with this project. I am going to add the flight cabin, VR staff, and new tech to improve the flight characteristics. Also, to be able to hover more easily.
Awesome. I was on a C5-A last month - where I visited the Air Mobility Command Museum https://amcmuseum.org which was about a 5-hour drive from my home. It is huge - the landing gear compartment is kind of interesting. Maybe the size of a New York City apartment.
@AntonWings Yes, I live in New York city, so there is Intrepid Air and Space Museum (it was the old WW2 air craft carrier) which serves as a museum. There is a good collection of planes including SR71, F14, 16, A4, Kfir, Mig 15, 19, and a bunch of helicopters on board
Oh gosh! That “auto flap” thing wasn’t mine. I steal it from @MAPA by changing some degrees of inclination or the triggering air speed - so the original credit goes to MAPA
😂
@MrCOPTY, I am looking for a good biplane for your challenge. I think I find one. I have't build much of them (may be jest one or two out of 250 builds)
Testing my (fictional) large transport helicopter, while MAPA’s [AI] Embraer Praetor 500 circles in the background
It is quite good at controls, and I can land at the spot I wanted to. Check out the video. I will post once I finish adding the windows and details.
To @MAPA; thanks for your great AI planes, it pop up at the right moment - so cool
T for tag.
+2@Mousewithamachinegun122 @Superliner350 @GuardianAerospace Thank you guys
+2@Erc90F4RU thanks you so much. I will tag you for some of my builds in the future
+2congrats, it is 100+ now
+2@Speedhunter Speed, you are really fast

+2@frogbot4000 My pleasure, the main objective of the challenge is to learn new things from each other and improve our work in the future
+2Posting the prizes in 2-3 days, as I need to spread out the Spotlights
+2@brians1209 My pleasure. great work and so proud of you all
+2This is really cool and a notable concept
+2@Cadvalto it's a magic... lol.. when you are thinking all about airplanes the whole life, thing becomes easier...
+2@Star2 can you see my message on 001? you are not blocked
+2@CaptainSquadronLeaderX Harrier is a British original, but AV-8B is a license-built by the US (for the US Marines only)
+2@Speedhunter Yes, I sketched for this one (not every plane though). Sketched in ProCreate or on paper, whatever I can get near me

+2@001 Because you can't make a decision
+2Thanks For the first 3 ups! @Superliner350 @Aano78 @HanakoSan

+2@Apollo018362 ‘’ Overall Looks and details - 20 pts.’’ which include those details.
+2It looks a bit similar to DH-Twin Otter. Beautiful work

+2@Freerider2142 I have modified the turn signals. It works perfectly for me. Thank you again for your input. I will tag you once posted.
+2by the way, I enjoyed looking around your collection of planes. Great job, amazing
+2This is a great job my friend. tag me please
+2@MrCOPTY No problem, Thanks
+2Great job, this is so beautiful
+2Congratulations for Gold!

+2Nice, wings looks like British ones
+2Awesome with that VTOL, thanks for joining.
+2awesome.
+2Thank You! @Transair56 @Stinky @standardCookie
+2@IceCraftGaming @RepublicOfCursedPlanes @ToeTips Thank You friends
+2@ToeTips it could be a meme build. Tutorial plane with VR or build it as a regular plane.
+2@VoidGuardian @TheTomatoLover @MAPA
+2beautiful one
+2@ToeTips Happy Belated Birthday to you
+2@Zaineman check out this cockpit
+2@MrCOPTY thanks
