This old video says more than I can:

The XF-85 was a prototype fighter aircraft concieved during WWII. It was intended to be deployed from the bomb bay of a giant Convair B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. It's role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptors. Make sure you start off from a runway approach location, just imagine you're being dropped from a bomber. Feel free to attach her to a bomber of your own and share it with us. Have fun, rate, and comment!!

    I made a t-16 skyhopper, however, due to it's extremely unrealistic traits like the huge vertical stabilizer and the fact that the CoL is so far forward, I couldn't get it to fly forward, i did get it to hover, but that was no fun because you would crash in a matter of seconds. so i made it into something that i consider pretty fun and i made target practice@picy

    I found this really hard to control at low speeds, something I encountered while building mine... But other than that it is really good.

    @ElijtheGeat @nightrider wanted to make one together so what if you make one by yourself and I'll make one by myself and me and @nightrider make last one.

    @ElijtheGeat for the pod it's awesome the only thing I would change is put more fuel in it. As for the other thing I think a sky hopper would be awesome. 😃

    @ElijtheGeat one person makes the frame post's it, and then the other one help's get bug's out. and the last person paint's it. of coarse we would have to delete each version.

    I think it would be easiest to work by our selves, but how would we work together? @picy

    @ElijtheGeat iwas just wondering if you want to work together on one, or everyone work on one, or you make one by yourself. or everyone make's 1 and then we all make one grand finale.
