My most detailed replica yet! The Yakovlev Yak-52 radial-engined tandem seat trainer. Controls (They're pretty simple!) VTOL up=Gear up. A tip is don't use pitch too harshly, or it will stall!

I got to help overhaul one of these which included replacing the spars back in my early days when I was still apprenticing. To this day I still remember that plane as one of the cooler machines I've worked on. I can't wait to try it out, looks great @Farmlad!
@Farmlad Sounds good :)
@Datom Maybe I will do a silly fictional thing! (I am thinking of doing a VTOL propeller)
@Farmlad I don’t know really you can maybe have a mess around with making a bomber I guess but it’s up to you 👍, btw could you do the fulsage for the fairy firefly we’re doing when you can because then I’ll do the wings according to the scale of the aircraft, but no rush I’m just better at the wings than anything else lol :)
@Datom What do you want me to make in Simpleplanes?
@Farmlad Right I’ve linked you some stuff. I find them useful.
@Datom What do I search!? I see it searching on Google on the website!
@Farmlad To the right of the logo for simple planes on the website, there is a black tab with 3 white lines in it going horizontally. Click on that and then on the tab that reads “airplanes” and ther should be a search tab at the bottom of the drop down menu. Click it and you’re on the search function.
@Datom What does the tab say?(I am on Android)
@Farmlad Website. Hope you find it useful :)
@Datom In game or website?
@Farmlad At the airplane tab at the top by the logo.
@Franticmatty At 3pm today please!
@Datom What search button and where is it?
@Datom Sorry, as I said I haven't done a thing. Btw this one I did with blueprints and a photo in a book!
@Farmlad Btw how’ve you been doing on the firefly? It’d be better if you did the fulsage and I add the wings and landing gear maybe, if that’s good with you?
@Franticmatty Please show it in a YouTube live stream tomorrow!
@Farmlad I really like the tail assembly! It is blended together nicely with the rudder being in a nice position between the elevators. A little tip I found out a little while ago: if you search for parts in the search bar you can find really useful pieces such as hinges on the landing gear button and VTOL controlled flaps on the wings that lift the plane up, so if you want them they’re there, I found them very useful and I hope you do too :)
Looks good :D
@Franticmatty Enjoy this one as I had to look at a few YouTube videos to find out where the gear went!
@Datom Is this a Datom quality build?
