Just mount the thing in the slot right behind the cockpit fairing and let it stick out, or add additional fairings. Your aircraft over pitches quite a bit BTW's. Might want to add some horizontal stabilization. Otherwise, nice build.

Yeah, this was one of those planes I almost completed then put on the back burner for a while. I stumbled upon it and figured I'd just butten up the cowling and send her on out as is. The starboard "targeting" probe creates some drag but i think it's symmetrical beyond that. Possibly some physics goofs with the overlaping body structure. Flies well for such a big aircraft I think. BTW I'm bruilding these planes using an old Samsung Galaxy Note tablet so I wouldn't be surprised about a few anomalies. Cheers!

Looks and flies great! Fantastic job! I was having an issue with prop rub with anything larger than 85" but no sign of it with your version. She can difinetly be a handful at high speeds but the responsiveness makes up for it.

Feel free... in fact feel encouraged to upload, I would love to see your modifications! I always get a little cross eyed when I work on a plane for a long while so a fresh eye focused on the little improvement tweeks is great.
Damn fine machine; inspirational even. The vectoring is definitely a nice touch. Think I'll take a go at a vectoring engine aircraft, makes for an interesting flight profile.
Nice build!! This thing is impressive. Great articulation and flies true. Well done.

I've seen prettier, but few that fly as well. Nice one!

Great design and, I'll be damned, it flies just like a stunt copter. A little on the difficult to control side... just like a copter.

@spefyjerbf
Thank you! This one really came together well.
Sick as a dog now! LOL, nice one.
Knocked one out. You're right, tough aircraft to build. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/7Q7zqg/PY-614VC-Boatswains-Spyke

A bit of a hot mess, but it works and it gives me a great idea. Well played ;)
HA! I dont know why I downloaded it but it works and its cool... for some reason.
Nice one! Flies like a taildragger.
@Austinowen That's a huge complament coming from you. Your work is remarkable to say the least; fantastic designs. Thank you!
Nice one! Not too bad on the landing. Definitely inspiring me to build one of these.
Two egines would have been sufficient, but sweet nonetheless!
