ERCO Ercoupe

135 DefaultAlpha  9.1 years ago

In a "tribute" to my "namesake", I've made my first plane (in a while) an Ercoupe. That was "his" favorite airplane, and it's mine, too. So, here it is. It looks suspiciously like one of his Ercoupes, but it is improved some. The landing gear are more realistic, as long as you don't retract them, and the tail, propeller, and cockpit. I think it flies sort of like a model airplane. I had it so the roll and yaw were connected, but I found it really hard to fly that way, so I disconnected them. Flightworthiness over realism in this case. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this plane. I'll be uploading planes from time to time. Camera 1 for cockpit view.

    Your planes are good, I fact I really quite like the, because they are Margery designs that I can use on my iPad, modding is like adding chocolate sprinkles to vanilla lol, a tip from me, is to use wings to build planes, check out some of my old work, wing built planes look cool and different, and they are much more cool than normal planes because hey show you have complete skill over building :) I am sure you can master it! @General360

    It just led us into an argument, latent told him that the 'extremely' offensive post I posted was not offensive in the slightest way as I had cencored the words (lol) and he told him off heheh and told him to stop bothering him! Hahaha I warned the guy u told him that if he acted as he was not to a policeman he would be arrested for wasting plice time! Hahah and he was told off for exactly that, wasting mod time! Hahah @LordofLegosBiggestFan

    Watch out for jared3339 he seems to think he has more authority than the moderators and has tried to get me framed so he can get me banned, just because I told cedy that the person who poisoned his dog was an asshole (I'm sure you'd very much agree) and thus the pillock has told me to list British swear words, I did and he immidietly went @ latent the guy is a total joke lol, @LordofLegosBiggestFan

    @XVIindustries I "acquired" the password to my iPad and thus the internet sensor, looked up " HiPstore on the internet browser in Pinterest, downloaded SimplePlanes, and here I am. I had to delete it after I was done so I would be less likely to get caught, but it works well enough for how much time I have to sneak on. Nice Gravatar, by the way. Anyway, spread the word for people to check out my builds. When I get SP back for real some day, I'll go back to the old account, but for now I'll use this one. Cheers!
