6,509 PattyMilk6  3.0 years ago
Auto Credit Based on PattyMilk6's Aircraft4

Finally, I uploaded something.

all be it at a rather unfavorable time where a lot of yall are asleep

Let me introduce to you, the best plane i have ever made.

please dont look at my old builds, those were from months ago, and are significantly less quality then this

Right, now into the build.

Controls

-Activate 1: Arm weapons.
-Activate 2&3: random switches so you look like you know what your doing
-pitch, roll, yaw: normal
-VTOL: Flaps. (1/2 flaps for landing, 1/4 for takeoff.)

Blueprints and other images used for building.

Second to last is my favorite

Extra Notes

  1. This build isnt perfect; it has uneven drag, autoroll and probably some more visual problems. Ive decided to post it still for 2 reasons: I recognize I probably wont acquire the interest to finish it, and as a reminder of the imperfections of my first ‘good’ build.

  2. This plane has Clipped wings, which wasnt normal for a P-38, but hey i think it looks cool!

  3. We dont talk about the nose.

  4. Big thanks to those who helped me with this!

-Kip

    Elegant build, perfect flight stability. Flight controls are a little on the sluggish side and some lateral swaying at decent speeds. Plane drifts while taxiing but fixed it with increased sideways traction. Upvote and Spotlight regardless.
