Redid the fuselage and inlets a bit. Roll input now also moves elevons. Also, scaled the engines to a more realistic size. Only 80 parts! Canopy looks a bit better now, no? Upvotes are always appreciated!

@EchoWhiskey11 you alive old buddy?
Perfect, just what I was looking for, a simple, yet accurate F-15 Eagle.
Little unstable on the takeoff and a li'l enthusiastic on the turns, but one awesome plane nevertheless!
simple and epic.
This is a really epic plane!
I like how this looks, but... It's too small.
Maybe make a bigger version that is closer to scale, that'd be cool. Hey! Maybe check out what I've published so far? Thanks.
Sweet plane I love how it handles.
Clean, simple, and accurate. Good stuff.
hey lemoose!
This looks a bit like mine!
awesome replica
@SHCow Your F-15 is slightly stretched, so making the wingspan to scale leaves the length at 68.3ft, scale 1.3522.
@lemoose Yours is slightly squashed, and comes up shorter in length when scaled to the wingspan at 56 ft, scale 1.5357.
For both, I'd calculate both ratios for length and width, then average those two values, and use that value as the scaling factor.
Or scale both length and width independently.
@Sunnyskies @SHCow 1.8 should get you there
@SHCow Pretty sure the fine tuner mod has the ability to scale up the entire plane. All you have to do is do the math to determine the correct scaling factor.
Regardless of size, this is one of the best F-15s I've seen on this website! Fantastic job!!
@lemoose Definitely. When you start dealing with bigger, heavier replicas, you just have to start using tricks to keep thrust, balance, and wing loading under control. Like making double-layer wings, and modding engine output.
I tired that with my f-22 and i was within a foot in all 3 dimensions! However it did not fly well at all. I think that may be the final frontier for me though!@Sunnyskies
Pretty great! You should scale it to 1:1 scale also. Wingspan is 43 feet.
