My 11th plane from Crimson Skies. A bit squirrely on the runway, but flies fairly stable after takeoff. Please rate/comment and feel free to request any other planes from the games that I haven't done yet.

    Yes, though I meant rear-facing engines. It would be nice to have an option to reverse the thrust on the props.

    I thought you were talking about rear mounted propellers. I just built a plane with those.

    @thomin I know about using hidden jet engines to simulate push props, but I've has mixed performance issues with them on my iPhone. Especially when it is a dual engine design.

    As for pusher props: Wait for my next plane, I found a workaround ;)

    Cool. Are you aware that there really were designs like this? I recently did the historic ancestor: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/2SEjy8/Blohm-Voss-P-170

    @Lolivier The Bloodhawk would be difficult due to the massive wings on the very back of the plane. The CoL and CoM would be way out of alignment. And I'm still waiting on pusher props to do those planes properly.

    Do you think a BloodHawk is realizable? So, for the plane, all is correct, except that it is unstable when landing.

    Kinda heavy on handling, but sure gets around OK. Creative design!

    Feel free! I have no problems with other players making similar planes. I actually like to see other players' interpretations of fictional aircraft.
