@hypnotoad I actually agree with you on your first statement, but I see you as an authority on the genre (for lack of a better term) of plane that I enjoy making. And also, in the spirit of boundary pushing, you've answered my question in an unexpected way, even answering questions I did not know I'd had. A and B the C of D so to speak. I thank ya for the good words and have been instilled with a new fervor to make some more funky fliers. And for tagging, will do good man.

@Enigmelody lol. It's a good question. For me, and I am by no means any kind of authority here, I'm a regular user just like your good self... For me it's all about pushing boundarys. I don't do replicas, I like them, I don't make them. Your planes fall into a similar category to mine I think, as you seem to be playing with interesting shapes and ensuring that control and handling is always maintained, which as you no is not at all easy. We can all make a nice looking jet to a degree, but making the thing you make fly and handle really well is the trick. So my answer to your question is you planes have impressed me and others here. That defiantly means that your planes fit in.. let's not forget a guy on here made a fridge... just a fridge.. It was epic. This place is entirely open to interpretation and development. Anyway rant over. .. Hope I actually answered even part o l your question with that. .. also I'd like for you to tag me in the comments section of your next planes so I can see what your producing. I like what I see so far :)

@hypnotoad Geez, you're gonna give me some serious ego. But anyhoo, that's all good to know. But my main question is, how does this sort of thing compare for the site? Barring replicas, experimental, modded, etc? Or is that even a viable question?

This IS great! Wonderful pitch!!! And the roll works incredibly well. She's fast and nimble. I wouldn't change a thing in regards to handling. It's excellent! After about 300mph a slight nose up creeps in. Otherwise it's also well balanced. To could get the nose up you have two options, shift the COM further forward ( for me, not always the best one as this may change the entire dynamics of the jet) or you could try and change the symmetry of the rear wings. If some of the rear wings are semi symmetric or even flat bottomed, they create lift at the rear and countering the nose up. Anyway hope that helped :)
