Meyer B3G - "Mirage"

11.3k ahappyape  9.7 years ago
Auto Credit Based on ahappyape's Meyer B2D Mirage

The old girls still got it. My first serious plane: the B2 series Mirage is my favourite and most successful. It was always developed with a performance over looks approach - so I've tried to stay true to that.
A couple users recently seemed to have dug it out and released successors - so here is mine. Seems I've learnt a lot since and I'm chuffed with how she flies now. Old is best!

    @ahappyape You could. My idea is make it REALLY small. Also, this can float. Might wanna mention that in the description.

    @Mkenz do that to your copy :-) I Dont want to do that an upload as you can't use that idea on the runway.

    I have an idea. Put it on the bottom to hide it and turn off the invert. @ahappyape

    @Mkenz you talking about the nonexistent yaw? If so - that was kinda on purpose as I didn't wanna add weight / spoil the looks. Just add 2 vertical rudders.

    It neglects to turn fast enough. I think it could really benifit from a VS with a rudder. @ahappyape

    @Mkenz the through the hoops challenges are the only ones I haven't completed. Think you need actual skill for those......:-).

    @ahappyape Another thing- these things are super agile for turning. I'll make a mental note that if I ever try the race challenges where you have to go through the hoops to use these.

    @hypnotoad thanks so much. I agree it looks good - but every piece was put there for a reason - even the diamond cut out in the middle reduced weight a tiny bit. I think the next version needs some ideas poached from your 2000mph beast you just uploaded. So much fun flying that btw

    @Mkenz honestly think I'm gonna leave the hand there :-) I tried it and using the brake input is clumsy at best. How do you follow people then?

    Like it a lot. Also I are to disagree with tour description somewhat, although a firmly agree that this is a fabulous exercise in performance and handling, I think the look is very nice too, really suits my taste and I think this is worthy of a solid 5 star rating all day. Well done chap, all the best

    @ahappyape I know, it tagged me cause I followed you incase you made anything, specifically a new hand, planned to check it out, but a system glitch took me to the home page.
