@Chemicalau @allstarship @thelatentimage @hyperion6 @chemicalau @teus @weebabyseamus @zing2000 @internet, Thank you all for the ratings and support, glad you like it!
@Stormraided, everyone is entitled to their opinion of "looks" but to give me negative reviews and then take my design, make minor wing changes and upload with the title "looks much better"....be classier.
@Intencer Can't enter it here because it's in another challenge but If you like choppers take a look at this https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/9wHkVI/Piasecki-X-49a
@rohan, If you take the VOTL nozzles off the props and just put a few on the fuselage instead you should have better luck, the size will still limit you though.
@ teus @weebabyseamus and all that appreciate the little moving details, I've been playing more with this with good results. Put a servo under the flag and set to: yaw, 15deg, 40% and the flag with flap in the breeze as you turn!
@Zing2000 I think that's one of the difficulties with this game. Unless you're being followed by others, sometimes it's luck whether your work is seen before getting pushed beyond "page 1". I'll "follow" you if that helps...
@wakescar, you're absolutely right. My understanding is that Riva and other builders like Chris Craft and Gar Wood took many design cues from the early Hacker's. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to see some of the Hacker beauties up where I live.
Nice work. Just a suggestion though. You have two really heavy VTOL engines in there that aren't doing any work without VTOL nozzles. I'd either remove them to save weight or add some nozzles to gain thrust.
Very nice, love the radar and torpedo details. From an aesthetic standpoint, may want to pick a color that better highlights all the details you put in place.
Amazing work. Flying wings are difficult to make fly well and you did great.
@Geebers take a look at my A-6, not all my planes are up to Screifers quality but I am proud of my Intruder. See what you think.
Great looking!
Very impressive
@Makcoink, here you go. Thanks for the request.
Nice mix of looks and control
Love the outboard!
@Stingray will do
@Makcoink I'll see what I can do and thanks
Very cool looking. As you said hard to fly but worth it.

@qwert13357 you're absolutely right, I liked the look a little better so went with that
@Intencer interesting, I'll play around. I've been meaning to work on your challenge just haven't gotten to it yet, plan on this afternoon.

This is awesome, reminds me of my rowing days...reserve that stroke seat for me.
Nice work. I've played around with making a helo of this variety but never liked how large I had to make the rotor blades to achieve lift.
Looks awesome and fun to drive! I made a similar h1 hydroplane but didn't get it up this fast!
Nice work, slow to take off like you said but I kind of like that it's a lumbering behemouth...fitting.
@qwert13357, it's just an airbrake stuck onto a rotator with a wing connecting them.
@WWIIPlaneBuilder thanks.Thought it might be more visible with a brighter paint scheme.

@ElijtheGeat Thank Elij, wanted to get that smoothness that the med engines just don't have
@geebers It flies great on my Surface but I think the size and physics settings are definitely the limiting factors.
@rohan, If you take the VOTL nozzles off the props and just put a few on the fuselage instead you should have better luck, the size will still limit you though.
@Zing2000 Don't even worry, can't get over competitive in this game or it all falls apart.
@Zing2000 Hey Zing, been playing around more with your boat and loving it. Made some tweaks to the nozzles but drives nice.
This is awesome. Now I want an enemy soldier to aim at!
I'm glad you like my boat. Is this the same but with a modded engine?
Badass. Drives well and love the turrets. Even looks riveted!
@Zing2000 eh who knows, all up to teus in the end. More importantly, we got some killer boats out of all of this.
Great work
Nice job, if you have time take a look at my version and let me know what you think.
Very slick, love the hidden engines/vents
I'm also really impressed with the hull. Hull curve "smoothness" is something I've found difficult in this game but I think you nailed it.
Nice ltjester, I think the color makes the details really pop.
Beautiful work. Love the interior touches!
@ teus @weebabyseamus and all that appreciate the little moving details, I've been playing more with this with good results. Put a servo under the flag and set to: yaw, 15deg, 40% and the flag with flap in the breeze as you turn!
Very cool. The working fuselage turbine is great. I tried to do this on my Serenity build with less success.
Beautiful work. One of the biggest problems that I had with my X-15 was the launch and you solved that like a pro with this guy.
@Zing2000 I think that's one of the difficulties with this game. Unless you're being followed by others, sometimes it's luck whether your work is seen before getting pushed beyond "page 1". I'll "follow" you if that helps...
Nice work as always. Take a look at mine and see what you think.

Wow, really impressive guys
Very nice, love the radar and torpedo details. From an aesthetic standpoint, may want to pick a color that better highlights all the details you put in place.
Thanks @kaaraabiner @thomasjaf, @wormforce. @teus, I too love the little details and gizmos!
@keneneq I too have trying playing with flaps/slats but it's hard getting them to "extend" like they do in real life.
@wakescar Thanks. This one may be more accurate but we all know you've put together some amazing works of scifi
Really clever use of adjustable control surfaces
Looking forward, here's a rating in hopes of getting more attention
