Nice.
Good job ! It’s easy to handle.
Oh the starfighter, aka the widow maker. It’s a very unforgiving aircraft, you make one mistake and you’ll be 6 ft under so quick you’ll fly out of your skins.
@Awesomepico but it’s just pointing out an agility issue. That shouldn’t discourage anyone, especially not someone as skilled as 1918, but instead help them improve.
@BaconRoll But wouldn’t that just discourage the user? I understand it’s criticism, but you don’t have to take it THAT far.
@Awesomepico it’s legitimate criticism. He isn’t insulting the user unnecessarily, just pointing out a glaring issue
No need to be so harsh. Jeez@BogdanX
Looks great. I really cannot praise the looks of this plane enough, very faithful to Johnson's design. I do wish you'd put the same amount of effort into making it fly like a Starfighter, though.
I know what you mean, I guess the correct way to say it is it's easy to fly, the flight model is nothing short of unrealistic, but it's fun and simple. @BogdanX
This looks beautiful, flies good, too. I wish I could build like this :0
cheers to you, you made a good lookin' replica mate
This is awesome! I've always love the Starfighter, it's probably one of my favorite "older" fighters!
