Auto Credit Based on mikoyanster's 1st Jetfighter Generation
With Tanks
Act. 1 - Wing airbrakes
Act. 2 - Dive brakes
Act. 3 - Arrestor hook
VTOL - flaps
Cannons - cannons/shell ejection
The Vought F6U-1 Pirate was the first jet aircraft to feature an afterburner. It was an unconventional aircraft in many ways other than that, however. The arrestor hook was placed between the wheels under the fuselage, and the catapult connector was placed behind the nose wheel, and the doors were shell troughs to direct the shells down away from the intakes. It was also very unorthodox in its physical appearance. However, its performance was unsuitable for a fighter and all 33 prototypes were limited to testing various arresting gear, and discharged from service in 1950.

Note: this is a very underpowered aircraft, but it's supposed to be. It only has about 4,000lbs of thrust and weighs 12,000lbs at MTOW. It's not supposed to fly like an F-104, but it's not supposed to fly like a P-51 either.
@3AMIndustries lmao
Amazing build, very underpowered and has weird flight characteristics just like the real thing. Its a great replica but an even greater road striping painter
@RamboJutter That looks very fun lol. Inverted pirate
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook dont know if your interested but i saw this and thought of you =) Should be a nice modification to your build.
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
Ok
@switdog08 I'll fill you in later
@switdog08 Oh yeah
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
Hello.
Anything important I missed (like within 3 months)?
@switdog08 hello comrade
Hi @AsteroidAsteroidTheBook !
It's been a minute since I was on the site last and just wanted to say hi!
CUTTEEEEEEEEEEEE
@KnightOfRen Thanks! Before this there were two, my old one and another person's
@RamboJutter Lol heheheh. This is actually just kind of a remaster of my old Pirate
@EternalDarkness thanks!
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook aw man you beat me to it, I saw a pirate in a photo of a cutlass while researching my last build and thought that would be a nice second entry... :)
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook sure.
@NormalPioneer well, I use hard corners. Then I use the default increments in fine tuner to get it somewhat close, then I use budding increments of 0.008 to get it really close and 0.001 to be exact. That should be a pretty common method, when Asteroid does paneling he probably uses this(maybe he'll let us know). And usually you can copy coordinates for 1-2 axis
.
Also, for round paneling, use circular corners. The less angle each segment changes by, the smoother. But also more part- and time-consuming.
@NormalPioneer place fuselages I that are skinny to be arranged in a cube. Then take off the top, attach normal size fuselages to the front and back, building your plane from them, and then add stuff like a chair inside your cube. This is the most primitive interior.
.
I find my planes to be simplistic and easy to deconstruct, if you want to learn more advanced techniques look in my profile. Shouldn't be too hard to learn :)
Ok
Goodd
Very impressive aircraft, I personally am not familiar with this, nor have I seen one on SP, so its nice to see something different. Keep up the good work.

@EternalDarkness can you make this a successor for this challenge please?
