I wanted to see if it was possible to built a plane out of nose cones. It is a big plane, and flys OK for a first attempt. The nose is a little heavy, so I'll fix that in the future. You can get interesting shapes clipping parts this way. Tested on low physics settings. Please rate if you like.

    Possibly resembles to Kawasaki C-1/C-2 transport aircraft, but the rear wings.

    Great idea! Never would of thought of using nose cones for the fuselage!

    I make most of my cargo and passenger jets with nose cones for tails and, well, noses, but never did I imagine building it out of the cones.

    Thanks @corey1324 and @AndrewGarrison I think some other blocks that expanded along the axis, and not from the fulcrum would open up a lot of different building opportunities in making realistic objects. Basically to allow you to define the size of a half barrel.

    I would have thought you were crazy to try such an endeavor, but it works!

    Really heavy to fly but has great design. I say the nosecone plane is possible!
