The McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle with conformal tanks and additional fuel tanks on the wings (for look, the extra fuel is actually inside the aircraft). Looks a lot like the real thing, quite stable and fairly maneuverable. It's not my greatest creation but it's still really fun to fly. Enjoy.

    Really, you just need to adjust what you have already built. Make the engines spaced a blocks length away from each other, that will widen your base, and just lengthen the wings all around to fit. No major overhaul, just some adjusting. I like the smaller builds as mentioned earlier, but with the scale you have already established, this one is on the smaller side. Not trying to burn you out, hell if you are happy with it then F@#$ it, fly around a bit and have fun with the game. Look for inspiration in other builders techniques and adapt. I know you can make it better, that's why I was being picky. Hell, it flies great, so you nailed that on the head. Scale is just another learning curve in this game, one builder pointed that one out to me a while ago and I try my best to achieve that now. Its hard not knowing how long they are till you post them. Keep up the good work man.

    @WeeBabySeamus I agree. I was trying to keep this in line with the small designs range I've been using for all my recent planes. I have been maniacally creating these planes recently and think I burnt myself out a little. I don't have the PC version so need to keep my designs small enough to use on mobile devices, but hopefully the update will bring new things to the table and inspire me to create larger planes again.

    you should make it bigger, the real thing is 64 feet long and has 42 foot wingspan. So pretty much double the size. Make it fit the cockpit, i feel that the front you got spot on, and the overall design of the fuselage is great. It just looks very squat. Use your F-16 as a size reference, this thing is going to be bigger.
