Fairey Swordfish Remake

13.2k NordicTuna  8.1 years ago

Well, the Fairey Swordfish was one of the first planes I published. I haven't really touched it since then, so I decided to give the plane, one of my favorites actually, another go. Also, I have another project I'm working on. The only thing that I can say is that it's a grim bloody fable, with an unhappy ending!

EDIT: Woah, featured! Thanks guys!

    @ACEPILOT109 Thanks for checking it out! Like I mentioned before, this is a super old and rushed build. I built a new and updated version a couple of months ago that actually looks and flies like a proper Swordfish! I might get around to uploading it later.

    @Iamcat Hey! This is one of my very old builds, it is extremely underpowered and the cables add a lot of weight. If you increase the prop RPM, maybe it might help you out. With that said, this was one of my most poorly designed builds. Maybe I'll make a new one.

    @boomstick Yeah, it really isn't the fastest. But it wasn't in real life too... Do what will create the best flying experience for you.
