Awesome! I like it! @Chancey21
Picked a name @Hyattorama
Can you tag me? @Hyattorama
I’m sure you’ll figure it out! @Chancey21
Oh hey btw, I’ve been working on the coot, I’ve finished the hull, but it doesn’t really look like the coot’s hull. So instead of making a replica, I’m just going to build my own thing that’s based on the coot. Cause calling what I’ve made a coot replica would be irresponsible hahahah.
IDK how I'm going to do it XD @Hyattorama
I can’t wait to see how this thing flies at 10 mph haha! @Chancey21
Ok cool. I hope that was helpful :) @Chancey21
its np @Hyattorama
Thanks @Hyattorama
Sorry for the bad formatting. Hopefully you can make sense of what I wrote haha @Chancey21
Wow 10 mph?? That’s crazy!! Ok cons.. I’m not very good at picking out cons but I’ll give it a try haha
Cons
One of the engine supports is going into the middle of a window.
The window pillars that meet the roof of the plane are sticking out a bit, I think it would look better if you could get them flush.
The back half of the plane looks pretty plain (although I’m sure you’re going to add details and livery) but I thought maybe you could add another row of windows in the back or maybe a door if you can fit it in there.
The props look a little skinny/dinky. Would it be realistic to have three or four blade props? Or maybe make the blades a little thicker?
This isn’t really a con, but I’m curious to see how you’re going to build the landing gear, cause I feel like the lg could easily come out looking dinky next to the big half-pipe wings.
That’s about all I can think of... other than those things, I think it looks fantastic!
@Chancey21
Any cons? What’s wrong with it that I can fix @Hyattorama
Yup, it’ll be able to realistically fly at under 10 Mph @Hyattorama
Wow. The curve on the half-pipe shaped wings looks fantastic! I’m definitely digging it so far! It looks like the windscreen/Windows were kind of tricky, they look great! I’m assuming there will be regular primary wings extending out from the end of the half-pipe shaped wings?
@Hyattorama How’s this project so far?
