@QuiteInactiveWhiteBread if i recall correctly the whole piston engine contraption is on a rotator, letting it spin freely so the torque doesnt affect the plane. This design is quite old though and there are meanwhile more efficient piston engines
@Lipton1 oh lol, ach dein deutsch ist gut genug. Das schleicher buch sollte ich mir vielleicht auch mal besorgen. Und generell kann ich die ganze buch reihe empfehlen, jedes buch ist über eine spezifische sache und auch immer mit verdammt vielen details und bildern, echt gutes zeug
@Lipton1 Wenn du es nicht schon hast würde ich dir "Die Evolution der Segelflugzeuge" aus der "Die Deutsche Luftfahrt"-Reihe empfehlen, aus dem buch hatte ich die idee mit der Fafnir, und da sind auch ne menge anderer interessanter gleiter dabei
Edit : I just saw one german comment on your profile so i might've assumed too quickly xd
@FairFireFlight sorry to bother you on mod duty, but are you able to link this to EternalDarkness's Airship Challenge and make it a successor? It originally was one but i took it down to change something and the second upload didnt register as successor anymore.
if i dont get the successor issue fixed via moderators i'll take this one down and reupload it since it is an entry for EternalDarkness's Airship Challenge
@C47skytrain small tip on making the car more stable whie towing :
Add some wings to the sides, just some small structural wings, and angle them down about 5-10 degrees so that they push the car against the ground.
Another hint would be to accelerate faster so that the vertical stabilizers get more effective faster.
Hope that helps
@Irobert55 im glad that a lot of you get the reference that i made with that thumbnail.
While this isnt the Goliath, its inspired by it, and the real one will come soon. This was a little warmup to figure out how to do an airship
@TheAceOwl if it were a battleship it would be heavier armed i suppose. i honestly dont know what i could really classify this as
edit : i think cruiser fits the best here
im a simple man, i see sleddriver type build, i upvote

+2This would probably make the devs income spike since this would attract a ton of new users if it were real lmao

@DeezDucks @BaconAircraft sorry or the ping, but is it possible to make this a successor to EternalDarkness's Airship Challenge?
@Hiimakeplanes there gun
@Hiimakeplanes i knew i forgot something
we should make the devs add thermals so gliders are more viable.
+1I mean, they already implemented wind, so how hard can upwards wind be?
sweet that i made the top three :D
+3i actually had a few other oldtimers planned but ran out of time
amazing
it took me this long to notice the gold ring flag
amazing
+2love it
@Graingy amazing
@Graingy lmao
@C47skytrain also thank you

@Zilozite if you're trying to take off from the runway then ditch that idea and start it in the air instead
@Koww Here you go
@KerlonceauxIndustries
yeah sure why not
+1something about this bothers me, i think i'll redo it
