A creation inspired by SledDriver, i could not have done this without his amazing creations. I should not recieve full credit for this creation because it was not made from my mind exactly, but i will thank SledDriver for the tutorial on the bomb cannons. Controls for flight are default, VTOL for controlling nose-heaviness. Have fun!

    Nice! Actually thought it was a SledDriver plane when I tapped it.

    I suspect that this may soon be a common style among experienced builders....

    @FlyingThings Yes he did, but yours was pretty good too.

    @FGW2014 You can scale a part along three axes - x, y, and z. x is from left to right (width), y is vertical (height), and z is pointing straight into the screen (depth). So if you make the z-scale of a cockpit 0.1, it will be one-tenth as long.

    @FGW2014 You can tag a maximum of four people per post, so you may want to tag them four at a time. Setting the z-scale to 0 means flattening the cockpit

    @SledDriver what do you mean by the z-scale?

    This is very well done. Fantastic shape, great color, handles well. The only improvements I would suggest are:

    • make it fly level without needing trim adjustment by moving the engine a bit lower

    • move the cockpit to the very tip of the central section so that the pilot has an unrestricted field of view. If you don't like the cockpit sticking out, you can set the z-scale to 0.1 or so.

    Also, wouldn't you rather have multiple shots for your bomb-shotgun? I'll upload something you can use in a minute.
