JLX SJ3A

1,720 Davjlee  5.4 years ago

* Work in progress * Hello all, this is the latest project that I'm working on. So far I just have the basic structures with flight mechanics just about dialed in. This plane is a fast, highly maneuvarable jet that I intend to build more into. I would not only like to fully arm the plane, but am also considering this plane for additional fuselage upgrades as well. It's been a while (for me) since I shared any of my plane builds so I thought it would be cool to preview one. Much of the plane follows the formula I used for the SJ2A Phantom. There is also an SJ1 and SJ4 being built, all with different characteristics and flight intentions. :)

    @Kimfri absolutely. I noticed that it has a ceiling of 18,000 to 20,000 at most to remain manageable. I've since reworked the wings a bit and that alone has definitely helped. I used a double stack 300 for thrust, which is good for low altitude. Depending upon how well the rework performs depends on how it'll be listed as final. Low altitude attack or not. :)

    handles well, quite a bit of wing wobble at higher speeds however.
