From the 1996 film Independence Day, this is one of the space fighters used by the alien invaders. I think it turned out decent, not great. It can (barely) take off and fly, though not especially well. The CoL is slightly off-center due to a glitch. Aircraft does NOT come equipped with the ability shoot "that green sh*t", so if you want to gun down Will Smith's F-18, you'll have to add your own weapons. Detach gear with 1. Disclaimer: I used a modified fuel tank to shift the CoM; I couldn't get it to fly without it. Hope you like it!

38.8k hypnotoadSuperb, really excellent job here chap. Really appreciate your design. And for what control and stability issues this design would represent to me to sort out, you really made it work way beyond my ability to. Nice one mate9.7 years ago

13.9k ABC123@Stingray Thank you! But I'm not going to bother revising this, as it was more frustrating than fun to make and it made the game crash half the time on my lousy device. I appreciate the tip, though!9.7 years ago

19.3k SkipperBingHaving built more than a few "planes" for looks more than flyability myself, I really like how this turned out. Well done!9.7 years ago

50.4k StingrayI like overall looks, but can't control it. The only circular wing designs that I've observed to "work" have the CM way, way out front. Good luck, I like your attempt!9.7 years ago
