I built this plane based of this picture from Cutangus on deviantart: http://cutangus.deviantart.com/art/IN-USAF-SERVICE-1955-II-182845487 . I thought it was a pretty sweet design...and I thought it would be a bit of challenge. Two days of hard work later and I am pretty happy with the result. It was a lot of fun to build and yes...it does fly! Full throttle on take off and wait till around 240 MPH and then pull up. Just be careful...it likes to roll while it pitches. I still think its fun to fly...hope you enjoy!

477 TA1ton@Puredeath - I used your idea for that inlet...I've uploaded the completed plane if you wanna give it a look.9.3 years ago

6,986 Puredeath@TA1ton you could use structural panels to make the lip, then use fuselage on the inside9.3 years ago

477 TA1ton@Puredeath - it is a cool design...but yeah...that intake would be a bit of a challenge. I wish we could do donut shapes with the fuselage block...we could have like inside/outside buttons along with the forward/backwards buttons.9.3 years ago

6,986 Puredeath@TA1ton his latest one, (compound powerplant) looks rather cool especial if you can pull off the intake on the nose9.3 years ago

477 TA1ton@Puredeath - sorry bout that. And he has a lot of really cool artwork. I was looking for a new project in sp so I googled cool planes and that's how I found him. He has a lot of Cold War esque planes and some more modern looking stuff too. Good place to find ideas and inspiration...9.3 years ago
