We all have one of those moments when we wonder what we can do, then we try; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This was one of the few times it worked for me. The aim with this plane was to show that we can use ever expanding sets of symmetrical wing shapes to pride enough area to give us lift and places to affix the various things we need to make a plane work. As always I had the end look in mind first, and I hope to have made something that appeals aesthetically aswell as working as it should. as always, all the best

38.8k hypnotoad@Stormraided the raptor is a classic and done many times and very well on here. So would be a good challenge to make one to stand out.9.7 years ago

1,238 Stormraided@hypnotoad ugh, I'll give it a go but I'm trying to make a plane like the F22 raptor9.7 years ago
-
38.8k hypnotoad@Stormraided your close on my heels dude. Well as far as ideas, I've been forever working on trying to get some ground effect craft working, but having no joy at all. Think it will work over water with a plane with a slight nose down, so it continually skims, but still flying per say, maby you could work on that idea?9.7 years ago
