@LjSpike @WeeBabySeamus @Scriefers The cockpit was most certainly inspired by the one on your prowler Scriefers, but actually most of my builds are inspired by what you are doing with yours, the level of details and the overall flight experience. I nearly didn't put the detail in the cockpit so I'm really glad I did because it turned out better than I first thought.
I love flying these, and they look great, but I hate building them. Really finicky things, getting the wing parts to attach right can be a pain sometimes. I should be find for engines and weapons for now.
I gotta give you 5 stars even though I can't try it right now as I'm not at my computer now and my phone won't take the size of it. The instructions are really complicated though. Could do with some modded rotators or something to make them work in a single direction on the slider.
@Jacobhardy64 You are a legend, and you have done me a great honour by pushing me into the 10k club. I am forever in your debt or until I return the favour. ;)
@PlanesOfOld I've tried the same buy with no real joy on stability yet. That's why I'm excited to see what lift the new props can give. It's not primarily a helicopter rotor but should be modable.
@PlanesOfOld the VTOL nozzles provide the lift. I modify the maximum angle in which they can tilt to about 15 or 20 degrees and be operated by the throttle. When the new props are available I'll revisit these and update them.
@Teus My next helicopter is going to be the MH-6 little bird and wanted to know if you didn't mind me using your VTOL nozzle concept for the gatling gun on my next build?
@bjac0 Thank you for that, I'm envisioning the same now and it looks good, but it doesn't well for me in mine as that copter blows me to smithereens for good measure.
@gg1234 Just a note about the pad. I initially didn't have one and modded an engine enough that a pad was not required but I am all about the visual look. I didn't like the long trails produced from the thrusters. The pad actually consists of several engines that have been modded down to 50% to reduce the length of the thruster trails, and that's the reason why I used it. :) When the new prop comes out and there is a better way of producing lift than VTOL engines I'll release a new version.
@WeeBabySeamus You don't have to give all your secrets away at once but I was wondering if there was the option to choose blade count and invert rotation too. :)
@JaySto Yes, no problem. I believe this particular gear set isn't the most stable and there isn't an easy way to improve it without create a new one or being able to mod the existing one in xml. The best thing to do is make sure there isn't any excess downforce on the wheels during take off and landing to reduce the wobble.
I'm so excited. If you're planes weren't already amazing, they have just become a lot better now that you are modding, the detail is brilliant, and as always you always find innovative solutions to make your designs look just right like the real thing.
Thanks @geekr

Another oldie but goldie.
Lol, what the heck is that!

Very awesome, great work Walrus Jr.
Love the cockpit, really feels old fashions with shiny brass parts.

Sleek
Ooh make a lottery machine that actually throughs out numbers.
Green, eww! But nice update
Awesome. I think I might have to make a new Sukhoi, I need to build a plane again.
@Rohan Thank you mate.
Looks pretty damn good.
A great unique design.
Looks great
@FIOu I seriously don't rate other people enough because I get distracted by my own builds so expect me to rate more in the near future.
Lucky 7
Beautiful
Looks like a manta ray to me
@A5mod3us Cheers buddy.
This is perfect, looks just right and really like that nose.
@Jacobhardy64 You are a legend, and you have done me a great honour by pushing me into the 10k club. I am forever in your debt or until I return the favour. ;)
@Jacobhardy64 I ought to remake this.
Thank you @IMDABEST
@Johawks AH-6
@johawks Definitely one I want to build anyway. I'll have a go at it after my next helicopter is finished.
@PlanesOfOld I've tried the same buy with no real joy on stability yet. That's why I'm excited to see what lift the new props can give. It's not primarily a helicopter rotor but should be modable.
Incredible, the cockpit is amazing and the sting in the tail is a nice touch.
@JaySto No problem.

@Teus My next helicopter is going to be the MH-6 little bird and wanted to know if you didn't mind me using your VTOL nozzle concept for the gatling gun on my next build?
@WeeBabySeamus Certainly worth experimenting with. I'll give it a go.
Awesome. For some reason this makes me want to build a dalek.
@Rambo1050 Sure, it is already armed so I'll be interested what you add to it.
I think you should have used my fixed version though with the missing tail wings.
@bjac0 Thank you for that, I'm envisioning the same now and it looks good, but it doesn't well for me in mine as that copter blows me to smithereens for good measure.

@WeeBabySeamus This has put a smile on my face. I hope you're enjoying the new job by the way.
@WeeBabySeamus You don't have to give all your secrets away at once but I was wondering if there was the option to choose blade count and invert rotation too. :)
@WeeBabySeamus Excited. I assume that means the props size is adjustable too.
@WeeBabySeamus I hope you are making helicopter parts, or is it top secret?
@Geebers Added to the list. I'm working on the KA-52 at the moment and will also do an MH-6, the Airwolf and the Blue Thunder.
@JaySto Yes, no problem. I believe this particular gear set isn't the most stable and there isn't an easy way to improve it without create a new one or being able to mod the existing one in xml.

Wicked good.
Very nice sub.

Looks awesome.
Thank you everyone again for your great comments.
