Meyer ODST Comp - "Rikku"

11.3k ahappyape  9.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on ODST627's (COMPETITION OF SOME SORT) my ideas are broken

WATER TAKE OFF - ODST asked to have a look at his wingtastic plane and fix. I fixed it.... then carried on going :-). I've tried to keep a lot of the original ideas and put my own spin on it. As I developed it it became clear that it would really suit being a glider of sorts. Throttle back and it will happily glide for a long longtime and and at 80mph - quite slow. Also this would be my first plane for a long time that's completely legit - no XML love in sight. Nice to be normal for once :-).
Would love any feedback/suggestions. Thanks.

    @ODST627 thanks bud. Hope you Dont mind I changed so much - just got carried away as usual. And it was obvious from working on your plane that you have skills a plenty - I actually simplified the plane if anything. On a side note I love doing joint ventures - so anytime buddy. All the best

    @hypnotoad no sir. By the time we spoke about them - all that was left was to paint. Ive been working on a cool plane for about a week. If I get the dam thing to fly I'll take a look at your technique. I would love to get rid of the pylons.

    Same attributes to a 5/5 as every Meyer: fast, agile, and newly, easy to land, but you still dont have YAW.
