The improved version is up just go to my profile and newest and you’ll see it@ChiChiWerx
Thank you I might make a improved version just for that@ChiChiWerx
@BurkeAircraft1 , I love your jet .
Actually, not a half bad effort. Better thought out and executed than 90% of the builds out there. Plausible, not ridiculous. A couple of suggestions which might help take this build to the next level: Trim is reversed from RL, where trimming nose up is accomplished by clicking back on the little hat switch on top of the control stick. The way it’s set up here is really counterintuitive...pilots think “pull back, trees get smaller” and while the controls follow this logic, the trim controls do the opposite. Make it turn just a little better. I get you’re going for an interceptor that is optimized for straight line speed over turn capability...buuuut...it should be able to turn at least to 4 Gs or so. Added to this, if it had more pitch authority, it would be easier to land in a nose up attitude and at a slower speed. If you’re intentionally seeking a high landing speed, suggest you decrease the wing area instead of limiting the pitch, which is actually the reason RL aircraft have high landing speeds. Your build only has about 35 lb/sq ft wing loading, which is more in line with a WWII fighter than a 1960s circa jet, which often had 70-100 lb/sq ft wing loading. That would get you the effect you’re seeking here. But the other numbers are good and the realistic fuel quantity is great, though it could have just a little more thrust and speed brake power. But, overall, you’re on the right track and I like your build style...plus the insignia is fantastic!
Great plane . Very pleasant piloting .
