Update 4:
Released!
Find it here
Here are the last pics I'll be posting in this thread. I'll be compiling a video for this build like I did for my last one, that was pretty fun.
Update 3:
Aerodynamics and performance tweaks complete!
The landing gear.... I'm sad. I spent about 6 hours building a beautiful set of landing gear (still have them backed up) but if I had wheel suspension turned on the plane would flip forward. If I turned wheel suspension off the wheel would move around on it's bearing (causing a crash on landing). After spending over an hour tweaking the wheels trying to get them to work I think I'm going to release this build without custom gear. (I'll leave the doors I guess)
Here are the latest pictures. Flight!
Update 2:
Tail finished!
Update 1:

Original:
WIP, but you should be able to guess what it is ;)
Working on flaps and ailerons now, next up is the tail.
Last image is my scaling insanity :P
@goboybo1 @Planefun @MeawkQ @ChaMikey @ Ctracerx2 @ TTHHSSSS @ LegnaK @Fishbowl1121 @Tully2001 @aircraftarsenal123 @t8erh8er thanks for your motivation in this thread. I updated the original post with the latest photos and the release link. I hope you enjoy!
@aircraftarsenal123 i was thinking the same about the details - few antennas, guns, exhaust, and a couple insignia. It lands very well! I cant wait to share it with everyone, its so much fun to fly.
Yeah, I went with performance on my P-51, with not many decals. The roundel and paint jobs in the wings didn't affect performance to much, I made them weightless though. I didn't make a cockpit or special landing gear, and it turned out great. I'd suggest doing details, but not many. One thing though, Does your plane land very well? I've heard its extremely hard, and I couldn't make mine land for crap. @AV8R
It fliiiiies! New photos.
@aircraftarsenal123 What do you think I should do? My options are simple (for performance) or all-out (landing gear, decals, maybe cockpit).
Right now it flies like a DREAM. I'm worried if I start putting decals on it it's going to develop the dreaded yaw bug.
Are you going to add a paint job the picture shows, or will you keep it simple(r)
Looks great, keep it up!
Tail finished!
Wing geometry finished!
gahdayum, I can see how awesome this will be
@AV8R I dont know how to read
@MeawkQ it is a P-51

@t8erh8er thanks! I just want to fly it, but alas so much still to do
