A stripped down version of my more detailed White Bliss. This one is stripped down to comply with the race rules of the Prop Class for the Indy Air Race. Main advantage with this racer is speed and aileron role. However on the Indy Air Race track, this plane will always miss gate 4 because it can't cut the corner from gate 3 to gate 4. Average time was 1:20 with a 15 sec penalty for missing gate 4. This version is PURELY for the Prop Class Indy Air Race. (Without 15 sec penalty it would get an average of 1:05)

@CptJacobson
Ok
Ok it will be for the BCAC or Brazilian Collation Air Corp @JohnnyBoythePilot
@CptJacobson
Eh, I don't really want Nordan back. You can have the design but use a different name and credit me.
I won’t my account does auto credit immediately so yeah and I could bring Nordan back if you like since we need more groups for my RP so yeah you could be Nordan Arms Industry @JohnnyBoythePilot
@CptJacobson
Sure I guess. This Nordan company of mine no longer exists as the RP it was part of is dead, and I now run with a new company of mine called "Rainier Aerospace", so all my old designs under Nordan or PAC are pretty much up for grabs for others to improve or barrow the design, just give me credit and don't avoid the autocredit system.
Could I use this version as a fighter for my company lad@JohnnyBoythePilot
@Texasfam04
No I've already seen the engines. This is also my first race.
@Texasfam04
"your builds are quite nice and look well done. I clicked to follow you. my weakness include older ww2 ear planes so im sure i can learn a few things from you"
Feel free to take apart some of my planes to see how I did some of the modifications and put them together. And regarding my planes being WW2, I started my desings in 1920 and working up the the latter of different aviation eras.
@JohnnyBoythePilot , its unlisted still. i have been working on different designs all week since this is my 1st race. i think im done with it, ive put in quite a lot of time in it. ill tag u so u can see it
@Texasfam04
Thank you! I strive to make my planes look as realistic as possible, and of course, as beautiful as possible. I looked at some of the racers others have posted for the race and they are all compete with high performance, but their reliablity of their course is fairly low. This design "White Bliss" is a more stable platform that takes reliability over performace. Plus it's good looks and sleek. ;)
So what's your racer that you are using for the tournament?
I also made a more radical rendition of White Bliss with the same engine techniques you used on those two engines you showed me.
your builds are quite nice and look well done. I clicked to follow you. my weakness include older ww2 ear planes so im sure i can learn a few things from you
its actually very nice, ive noticed a lot of the race planes are really ugly.
@SavagePlanes
Thanks!
While not the fastest or most agile plane in teh competition, I have faith it could get me at least in the top 5. I mean, this thing has like a 98% survival chance!
@Empanadinho
Thanks!
This plane really looks like a formula 1 air racer at the Reno Air Races lol.
@SlowJet
I'll try those. Thanks!
