@JShay as always mate, you do me well. I've been waiting a while to see any notifications to tell me you brought out a new plane, as I always look forward to them. Anything I can help with mate?
@ZFM99 alright buddy boy! ahh man, don't feel down dude, I know you have a lot going on, and truly have every right to! but your a good bloke and lets be fair these words from me aren't going to help at all. I know people who suffer from depression (well bipolar actually) and its pretty tough. No ammount of "chin up sonny boy" is going to do it, perhaps focus on that feeling that's getting you down, really get to know it, own it and then smash that thing when you have control of everything ! of course thats just a mental fight, not looking at the world outside, thats a WHOLE other factor
@Vikdesigns thansk as always buddy boy, I do always appreciate you ratings and feedback, honestly it means a lot. Also im pleased that issue with the repost plane is done mate, I hate myself for not looking at any predecessors, i should have done so dude.. should have thought "man this is very cool... too cool perhaps?" XD all the best
@ahappyape also I thought I would say thank you. You have become a truly great part of this place. I often go around rating (i so rarely have time to leave useful feedback nowadays) and I frequently see you posting a good rating and very useful suggestions / tips / feedback, this place really would be what it is if it were not for you, not "people like you" I mean YOU. Please do continue to do what you do as its very much not lost on me, and I am always inspired by your approach to others and of course your own designs. All the very best buddy, keep it real :)
Utterly exquisite design work as always good sir, you are a true artisan. I had a good go with this one, and I do really appreciate all of the work you put into this, the shapes constructed are beautiful! having flown it around it does suffer from a nose down, but nothing that the pitch cant overcome with total ease. Not wanting to leave it there I took it apart, and really I couldn't find a good enough reason for it, all of the surfaces are the correct symmetry. I do notice the COM and COL are a good way back, I would suggest that this may be a part of the reason, knowing that sounds counter intuitive, I added some flat bottom wings to the very front to provide lift, this work and she was beautifully stable... BUT whenever I pitched up sharply she got stuck in an endless loop the loop? My suggestion is that this is somewhat of a phantom nose down, but because the COM is very central trying to correct it will only cause a huge issue. SO....... i would try (as I haven't yet) moving the COM as far towards the nose as possible, and then compensating with adding lift there, and I would recon that would do it....
Very nice looking jet sir, great job. Some tips. If you move the rear landing gear towards the front it will take off a lot sooner (get them as close to the COM as possible. The wings tend to sheer. You can use structural wings which are much stronger but cannot support control surfaces and or you could use detachers to a fix any primary wing to the main fusalage and they stay in at high speeds. Hope that helps somewhat
@404unknown morning chap. Still totally dig your username! Nice one :) thanks very much for the rating. Really appreciate it. All the best to you good sir
@rjt9906 no problem. I'll always try to respond whenever possible (on UK time so I do miss out sometimes) thank you again good sir. Please do tag me in any planes you want me to have a look at. I'm always interested to see what people just starting out decide to do :) all the best
@helix LOL the master builder...... "everything is awsome" glad to give you a rating on a great plane and always happy to provide feedback wherever possible. :) do put the @ immediately followed by my username whenever posting a comment aimed at me so I get the notification as I could have missed this one :)
@Blooddawn @Vikdesigns alright blooddawn, as I have the utmost respect for viking designs and am an avid follower of his excellent work I have removed my rating, I hope you understand why. I am sure there would have been no issues if you had have asked him to play around with a design and upload it, please do so in the future. Or get making a new plane, that's what it's all about on here ;)
@rjt9906 good evening sir. That is incredibly nice of you chap. Really greatly appreciate the rating and kind words, you do flatter me. No sadly no engineer of any kind. I work in the telecoms industry, not that that has an impact on my designs. I just play with designs ans shapes to my own satisfaction I guess. I try to learn and develop ideas of my own and with the support and combined brain power of the very good people of SP pretty much anything is achieveable :) all the best
Really interesting use of what looks to be yaw as roll, really liked that, and i was very surprised how effective the pitch was! really great build. only slight tweaks I would make (not a criticism) I would move the rear wheels further forward, getting them as close to the COM as possible so it takes off sooner, and for me, at high speeds the vertical stabilizer (providing the yaw / roll control) broke off, so you could perhaps use a detacher to affix this to the plane, though this would ruin the lovely looks you have created. :)
@StealthBomber Think you have a couple of pitch control surfaces working against this one on the lower rear wings, so its throwing it off, also try and centralize the pitch control, and put any roll control as far out from it as you can to emphasize the effect. otherwise balance is good
@StealthBomber when you start grouping surfaces together like this, even though you got the fundamentals right, like the COM in front of the COL, adding layers throws all of that a skew! as you often add in another dimension to the mix, so in this case pushing the COL FAR back helped, but also adding wings lower down at the back helped lower it aswell. Also, having the COM pretty much on or below the nose is the only safe way of getting this kind of plane flying
@PlanesOfOld alright dude :) thanks for the rating,,,, well, there is the good old tried and tested COL WELL behind the COM, but if its a fast jet, you may also want to place the COM as low and as forward as possible, again reiterating the balance. sweaping the wings back can also help as having a very central COL can cause instability at speed even if the COM is well forward.... sure I havent helped :)
Just downloaded and had a go, shes VERY cool (started in the air as the fuel only lasted until the end of the runway) love the balance and handling, awesomeness! well done dude
@ahappyape much obliged mate, really, honestly, thanks man :)
@qweasdzxc nice one, thanks dude! really appreciate you taking your time to rate my planes. Have a good one

Definitely strangely pretty
Really very well done
Excellent work and I love the style, few tweaks as suggested by ZFM99 and yous golden
@Vikdesigns no mate I didn't. I'll remove my rating buddy
@tominator :)
Have a good break dude.
@PlanesOfOld sounds pretty darn cool.... interested in the thingybob :)
@PlanesOfOld sweet. What did it?
Nice job!
So much better than the first! This is brilliant! You learn sooooooo quickly it's unreal. Well done buddy
Brilliant, excellent job sir
Nice work!
@Mkenz LOL, man alive that's crazy! 16k, crikey, that's a lot! not sure you can automate any responses, but what a good idea! :) thanks buddy boy!

@creeperdude1047 exploding horse
@creeperdude1047 LOL
very cool buddy
@creeperdude1047 yea, but thought horsecreeper sounded better, you know, like you have some questionable affinity for the creatures
EXCELLENT, well done sir, truly a great build, super looking too, and never easy to incorporate the large jet, this looks great
@Mkenz LOL I know what a guillotine is dude, hahahahahahaha differenties,,, im going to take that one to the bank!!!!!
@creeperdude1047 I was just mixing your name up aswell, you know, with an equestrian vibe,,,,, now i feel bad about it.... XD
@creeperdude1047 better than horsecreeper hahahahahahahaha
@Mkenz not guillotining? I am lost dude :)
@creeperdude1047 ahhhhhh see what you did there! XD LOLOLOLololololol,,, (suddenly feel the need to eat hey)
@StealthBomber Think you have a couple of pitch control surfaces working against this one on the lower rear wings, so its throwing it off, also try and centralize the pitch control, and put any roll control as far out from it as you can to emphasize the effect. otherwise balance is good
@creeperdude1047 UN-REAL Its like looking into the mind of a............................................. confused horse :)
@PlanesOfOld Ahh dude, cant wait!!!

@creeperdude1047 (I do so have an idea....) ok as you wish.. one word.......................................................... ubiquitous
