First of the "failed" builds that didn't make it to my main page, this was supposed to be a simple, easy to fly Ercoupe with a low part count, and with a silly Bf-109 themed paint scheme, unfortunately this build didn't fly well at all and didn't look right along with a few other issues
I had originally started this several months ago, only worked on this for a week or so before giving up on this, so it just sat in my save game file
(I never completed the paint scheme as well)
(Again no need to upvote this, just a failed build that I still wanted to share but not have it in my main account and the next "fail" build will be a race plane that I saw in the back of a magazine)

Why failed? I think it's great, take my spotlight!
@Camroncs Sure! That's fine with me
@MrSilverWolf Yup. And I can't even put a proper cowling over it...
@FltLtFox yeah the drag on some of the parts or sections of planes can be really annoying like that sometimes
@MrSilverWolf I tried to make a basic radial style engine detail, but it causes so much drag the plane doesn't fly well. It's more like it falls very very slowly over a longish distance.
@FltLtFox
high five over the internet accepted!
@ChiChiWerx really? Ok well I thought it wasn't that great lol
(Thanks!)
Hell yeah! Join the 'it didn't go to plan' club! Holds up hand for high five
I have not seen a truly great build on the site for more than a week, this is one of the better of late despite its faults
@Liquidfox it flies horribly and doesn't look right
Lol @MrSilverWolf
@CRJ900Pilot
(I have around 5 to 10 more on the laptop and probably a good 30 or so on the iPad)
@CRJ900Pilot and when I mean a lot, I mean it takes a few minutes to scroll through the save game file
(I'm going to be uploading from both my laptop and my iPad)
XD @MrSilverWolf2
@CRJ900Pilot thanks!
(There are a lot of failed builds left in my save file, so there will be more coming)
Cool
