First plane CHALLANGE
50.4k Stingray
8.7 years ago
[My first plane was very stable, easy to fly & land, before there were 2 islands + before Steam. Jundroo aero physics have changed since then, FYI.] This Northrop Tacit Blue "build" is extremely simple, a reasonable close repilca, using "simple blocks only," to the actual manned prototype.

Thanks, the "White Whale" now sits in a museum, @ccooper
Thanks for the first plane vote! @lowobservable
Negative; Northrop used to be my rival, many moons ago. @lowobservable
tacit blue is that you??
Thanks, @flyingsteve88 you are being very gracious, this can takeoff and land safely and that's about all.
Thank you! With newer fuselage options, now on SP, others have re-built the Tacit Blue model. Why don't these contests request "your second plane?" My 2nd plane was an SR71. @Stickman @PlanesAndThings
