The Heep Micro IIIr [not released, but also the smallest] is 8 long, 4 wide and 4.5 tall. If I can clip off .5 blocks in height it would fit quite snugly in a 2-section bay.
@Sirstupid ok, tiny plane. Maybe an Altscraft 3-1? I think it would fit if I lengthened the cargo bay. Not sure how it would get out though. Maybe I could wedge a Heep Micro in there!
@Sirstupid it's kinda late here. If I remember, you're in CST so its like 01.30 over there. I think I will log off for the night, and work on the pitch issue in the morning. Any other non-fix features you want to see?
hmm...look around at the Golds and Platinums and take inspiration. Also, finding a "niche" is good. For example, my niche is cars [the Heep lineup, mostly] and a few airships. Just make something you think is cool and roll with it! Also, using your own paint scheme is a must.
@CarlosDanger13 I am personally a fan of either the big-tailed late '50s or the radical-design late '60s. But make sure to also bring some custom designs to the table as well as amazing replicas!
@Baldovino I like all of these ideas, and maybe there should be 3 solar panels with different generation rates per square block, but the more efficient ones weigh more. And solar panels [type A, B, and C or whatever] are also options for primary wings and structural panels.

@Sirstupid like a stabilizer running the whole body length?

@Sirstupid thanks so much for your help with this project of mine.
@Sirstupid ah, I see now what you meant. Thanks!
@Sirstupid you have to link the URL to the actual plane, linking it to the "successor" page doesn't do it. It's unlisted, after all.
@Sirstupid link me?
@Sirstupid could you post that in an unlisted or something?
@Sirstupid it's still unstable, at any speed. Any ideas?
Done and I'm getting called to dinner. Back shortly
Works, but I also did a six-blade with T3000s. Gimme a sec to post it, and I'll link it here.
clicky
I see. Same here except I can't. Do you know of any already in existence?
@Sirstupid do you XML? An 8 blade would be...fitting.
@Sirstupid biplane...? Also six-blades would be a good idea. It's kinda slow.
You have 2016 points.
@Sirstupid haha. The plane seems to be a bit wobbly in general. Any thoughts based on your tests?
@Sirstupid LOL they are structural panels. Shouldn't affect anything, but change them for regular/structural wings and tell me what happens :D

The image doesn't render. I wanna see it though!
@CarlosDanger13 sure!

Me as of your first post! Go, man, go.
@CarlosDanger13 just FYI silver in 5 days is pretty hard and cool.
@Sirstupid now that you say that, I can't un-see the connection to a Tetra type.
@Sirstupid good idea! I'm more focused on external design right now, but I'll keep it in mind. Maybe even make the sides open on rotators.
@Sirstupid I'm glad you do. Originally I was just trying to make a grid to match the edge cockpits, but it evolved into this nice octagon pattern.
@Sirstupid lol thanks!
Does it work for other things?

@AeroEngineering whyever not?
You messed up the links…ground & sea are swapped
@Flightsonic lol at least you don't have an exam in analytical mechanics tomorrow...
@Flightsonic lol ya I guess return policies won't help you much there.
Looking forward to the ground challenges!
What brand? Where'd you buy them?
@Robertobean just curious how that adds to the game?
you
are
gold
Yeah ^
What kind of phone is it?

@RocketLL is that a reference to pocket planes, perchance?
That's one beauty.
Just FYI it's "Bel Air"
@Flightsonic thanks much
Activator Group 8 is supposed to be activated.
"It's a feature, not a bug!"
here is the armed one.
two notes about this guy: created 6 days ago, and it's unarmed. Consider this a temp entry, and expect a new armed version soon.
to clarify: this would be a specific tournament run by the devs, right?
