EXF-14 Falcon

14.0k ElijtheGeat  9.2 years ago

I personally love the way this bird of prey flies. As I'm sure many of you noticed, I slightly modeled it after an F-22 Raptor. She will easily hit supersonic speeds right after take-off; hence the name Falcon. If you like it please remember to come back to leave your opinion and feel free to ask any questions. !Bon Volant!

    lol, maybe I'll get that good after I've done EXF 17, 18, 19... 34 sounds like a good idea though. The F-35 is definitely one of my favorites @Jebediah

    the EXF-15 Super Striker handles pretty well,but I want to see a EXF-35 with a VTOL lifter fan and a rotating engine.

    The EXF-16 Tigress handles pretty well.That craft does not need to be fixed.

    thanks, and viper gave me a couple pointers on how to stop that wobble when you pitch down, so my next one should be better @Jebediah

    it wobbles when you try to put the nose pointing straight down like you're gonna lose control

    You have to be able to use the modding tools, and I haven't taught myself how to do that yet, so I just downloaded someone else's plane that had it. So download this, , attempt to take a single rotated block off, then save that block to your sub assemblies. Remember that rise and run are also diagonal now, so you have to compensate @FairchildMitchell

    How do you half rotate a fuselage block so it's corners are on top bottom left and right?? I've been wondering awhile.

    thanks, I'll try that next time, I always use VTOL nozzles anyways, so it it should be easy @Viper28

    Im not sure, I would have to work on it a bit to find out, but as a peice of advice, when your center of lift and thrust are close together it makes some aircraft more stable. This might just be me, but my KUDA fighter is very stable and the centers of lift and thrust are right on top of one another. Hope this helps and still a cool plane man:) @ElijtheGeat

    thanks for the feedback, yeah, the plane has a weakness when pitching down, it sort of goes out of control. Do you have any suggestions to make my EXF 15 better? @Viper28
