In memory of David Vopat
Ah makes sense, I didn’t know you saw that @CobraHueyIndustries
You were talking about cleaning some stuff, and you told ACEPILOT109 to head down to the museum. I figured you volunteered there @BlackhattAircraft
Oh I didn’t know you knew I volunteered at Planes of Fame, and no problem @CobraHueyIndustries
Yup@KnightOfRen
Really? @CobraHueyIndustries
And thanks for the spotlight and upvote@BlackhattAircraft
He sounded like a great guy. What a chance he got, flying this plane! I bet everyone wanted to fly this. Is that true? I know you work there.@BlackhattAircraft
Wow, this is amazing, I work at the museum that owned the N9mb and though I didn’t know David that well, I had seen him fly on multiple occasions and I believe I heard him speak about flying the wing once. @CobraHueyIndustries
This was already super hard! 🤫 I didn’t create any of this lol@KnightOfRen
Why? @CobraHueyIndustries
Yeah. It’s going to be hard tho@KnightOfRen
Are u going to make a B-2? @CobraHueyIndustries
I still remember. How can I not!? I’ve always wanted to do a harrier! ;)@KnightOfRen
Love this plane! Looks like a B-2 with Propellers. Good job! Can you make a Harrier?
Thanks! It was interesting seeing how flying wings work.@Nickk
Nice👌😁
Thanks!@zraaa
@Cobrahuey alright, thanks man, it could just be an issue with my device, I just replaced the engines and its fine, but amazing plane either way!
It was a very hard project, but @BogdanX helped make the wing so it could fly. I’m glad you like it!@Tang0five
I was going to put Air Force marking on it but forgot. Thanks for the upvote! @EpicPigster1
Thanks!@Mustang51
Strange. It didn’t do that with me. I will try to see why.@zraaa
Nice simple flying wing, good that you’ve asked for advice and credited their input. Must say a flying wing is pretty ambitious, I remember trying to do one before you could nudge pieces together and the handling was all over the shop!
Hey, not bad! Could use some more detail and maybe some insignias, but solid! Flies great, looks pretty nice, heh, it reminds me of my old days when I started out, I built one of these too. Not bad!
