It rhymes with "Stolen thunder"
When I first saw this it blew my mind.
@Aeromen Nice, thank you for that!
First post gets 34 spotlights and 98 upvotes xD
Great ✈️
@asteroidbook345 only missed you by 22 hours... =( lol
Ohhh ok@PlayingSimple
@RocketFuel Yep. It's supposed to be ambiguous.
i read the name as stolen thunder
Alrighty then ;) @PlayingSimple
@JelloAircraftCorporation I deleted my old accounts in a rage quit. Won't do you any good to know the name unless you're overly familiar with what I had built before. Keep the guesses coming and I'll out myself when someone's correct.
If you don't mind me asking, what was your old account? You're clearly a very talented builder, and I was wondering if you were a well-known user.
@CustomAircraftMods Thanks, as others have pointed out, this is a first post, not a first build. They're playing guess the platinum right now XD I've been gone for quite some time.
Wow. One post, and you already have more points than me! I congratulate you for that! @PlayingSimple
@Chancey21 I use stylistic elements and techniques that I think they use as well. Also I agree, it is STOL but there's a lot of room for improvement.
I had considered reducing fuel weight (barely burns anyways with "electric" engine) and maybe increasing wing surface area but I felt that would kind of be cheating. Not that there's rules or anything but OCD said no.
Do see some mikoyanster in this... technically it is stol; it can takeoff in 500 feet... but it isn’t very good stol for its size @jamesPLANESii @PlayingSimple
@PlayingSimple k
@StallFlight nope
WAIT ARE YOU AUDIODUD3
I'm speechless
@BogdanX LOL long time fan, probably missing a couple hundred of my updoots from last rage quit, didn't think through
@BogdanX Technically accurate is accurate.
@BogdanX First "Post" XD
Really awesome build! That detail and build quality is stunning.
@jamesPLANESii Not Mikoyanster but flattered if it's reminiscent. I'm not sure if there's a specific stall speed req to be STOL but it takes off pretty quick if you throttle up with the brakes on and then release the brakes when it tips up on two wheels. It also stops within the square at the end of the runway so it felt STOL as close as I could manage without shrinking down really really big wings and breaking the physics... I probably should have looked up a relative stall speed and tried to match but I let the builder dictate its abilities.
