@swat132 do you reckon you could get us started on a 1:1 scale? I don't mind if you'd prefer me to start. For whichever one of us it is, there's a 3-view here which I can add dimensions to
@dsr1aviation I'm busy this weekend, do you think you would be able to get it started? I don't mind doing it tomorrow night if you're not sure how you wanna go about it. Alternatively, @swat132 seems to have a good bit of practice with large-scale builds
@swat132 @dsr1aviation @HakkeAirTech I had an idea! The Caproni Ca.60. It's as huge and ridiculous as they come, but doesn't require fussing about with rotators and things, and definitely has a certain grandeur to it. If you've watched The Wind Rises, you've seen it
@dsr1aviation I don't think the designer worried too much about how it would work either, he apparently thinks that a wind turbine on the back of a plane is a good idea hahahaha. Very unique concept, though.
@dsr1aviation well that's the fun of it, isn't it? :D I've got some practice with flying a plane on rotator control, and I've made a couple of working parasite fighters.
@dsr1aviation @HakkeAirTech if we're feeling incredibly ambitious, maybe the Lockheed CL-1201? Someone would have to design a fighter that works entirely with rotators instead of control surfaces

Yeah no kidding @Skua

Ok so who is doing what ? @HakkeAirTech @Skua
Sure, I'd like to see this happen.
Sounds good to me. What do you think @HakkeAirTech

Agreed. Well i gotta go back to work and will be back on in 5 hrs :)

I would also like to throw the 'progress eagle' plane into the ideas mix not so much the emissions part but the design in general
@dsr1aviation @swat132 ahh yeah, cool!
He would like in on the build :) he has a good eye for detail

@swat132 whaddup
That is incredibly ambitious. Also very big :) im no good with rotators though lol @HakkeAirTech @Skua

Well now your on board. We need to think of something to build. It has to be something no one would expect @HakkeAirTech
@Skua I'm not sure what I could do but sure.
It takie pleasure in reporting colonels, @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries
I'm the rule enforcer, been noting rule breakers of the rules they broke, so far reported 30+ people most likely.
@Skua cool. I'm glad somebody in the community is helping a lot. It's something that the more experienced people community should be doing.
@JetstreamAeronauticalEngineering it's nothing official, the three of us just happen to respond to a lot of help requests on here
@Skua forum helpers? Is that kind of like just answering people's questions and helping out the mods?
@dsr1aviation just saw your reply, here's a forum for us!
@HakkeAirTech dsr1 and were thinking of doing a collaboration of forum helpers, would you be interested in joining?
