F/A-18 Hornet

2,357 STT1  7.3 years ago

So, I know Simple Planes comes with a stock recreation of the F-18 Hornet, but I felt like I could do a little bit better. Anyway, I probably didn't do any better or worse. Tell me what you think in the comments.

    I think it's better then the one that comes with simpleplanes but one thing wrong with it is the vertical stabilizers look a bit to tall

    @hopotumon I understand part of what you're saying, but could you clarify this: "...reduce the wide of pitch survace so you can get the agility". Also, thanks for the feedback. I often try to ask for other's opinions when posting my creations, and if i ever get enough suggestions i will try to post a new variant of the craft. Overall, thanks for the help!

    You can try to reduce the weight, reduce the wide of pitch survace so you can get the agility.
