Porco Rosso Seaplane

3,569 OtakuSquirrel  8.9 years ago

This is my first attempt at a decent airplane recreation. It's a bit too big and heavy and it doesnt fly perfectly but I think it flies well enough for a fictional aircraft. I tried my hardest to get this one as good as I can. Hope you enjoy it!

    This plane look absolutely beautiful! However, it flies like a dried out turd. I hope you can make some adjustments and maintain the look. It's about as fun as a screen door on a submarine.

    This is the only plane of its kind. They said it
    was too dangerous to fly. It was gathering dust in a warehouse.
    ...
    Only take offs and landings give me some difficulty. Once it gets up
    speed the wings have enough lift. [pointing to the drawing] Give me
    0.5 degrees more incidence.

    Hey guys, I have a question. How can I make this plane not want to always nose dive?
    I have tried everything. Is it because the center of thrust is so high?
    I mean the plane kinda handles like described in the movie but it's still kind of annoying that it wont stay straight.

    Nice recreation. I love the movie. The director's father used to design airplanes during the war, hence the heavy use of aircraft in his movies.

    When i saw this i directly thought about the second plane in Wii sports resort, where you need to fly throught all the i points. You get that after 60 i points.

    @ACMECo1940 Thanks! I'm gonna release my celebratory plane hopefully tomorrow after I take my Piano Exams if I can get @Mod to mod for me! The engines aren't powerful enough hand the gear doesn't go in all the way with normal in game rotator values.
