Jiminy Christmas. Alright, here's the thing. The pitching is awful, right off the bat. You have unnecessary drag on a lot of the plane, causing whiplash when trying to pitch. Move the COM forward to avoid the oversteer. Apart from that, you get 3 stars for design and 1 because it takes off.
Four planes... The jets? Those actually each took about a day to make. I tried to make them as perfect as I could, aesthetically and physically. The first one was a concept, second was an aesthetic and technical improvement, third was a purely aesthetic concept, and the last was a technical improvement. @Kirbyshammer
@Kirbyshammer I made mine to work with the existing parts, yet maintain similarity to the original, when either flying or observing. And yet it still manages to be different.

@JacobHardy64 Thanks for letting me know! The only thing I wasn't happy about was that bouncing on takeoff... But oh well, I'm sure the newer version that the devs will create will be amazing.
@Kirbyshammer You came to my plane making false accusations, and it looks like I'm not the only person's plane you've trashed with a 1-star rating. So if anything, you're a negative part of the community. I give honest feedback on people's planes, and expect people to be honest and insightful on mine. You jumped to the conclusion that mine was ripped off and gave a 1-star rating, with no evidence whatsoever. Now get out.
@KirbysHammer How about the Airboat? You uploaded a version for feedback, then uploaded /basically the same plane/, under the same name, just for more points.
@Kirbyshammer Ideas, huh? So you uploaded last-second planes that took no effort, just for ideas? BS. You have no right to call me out on something that 1. you've done frequently yourself, and 2. /I DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO.
@KirbysHammer And who are you to tell me I've snatched cheap points? You've got duplicate planes in your uploads, not to mention /challenges/, which I know, in your case, are nothing but point-farms.
@Kirbyshammer Let me guess. The OES-0001, OES-0010, and the OES-0011? Those are all different from each other. I refined the design down, decreasing the weight, making it more agile and balanced. Seriously, don't you do your research? Try actually downloading them, or checking the specs.
@WaterAirLand @Kirbyshammer I replaced the prop, pieces, and wheels, while retaining the actual plane's design. If either of you would bother to read the plane description before hastily judging the plane I've built, you would know that.
@DragonKing You had a lot of dead weight, was the main thing. I took a look at the fuel percentage when at 50,000 meters and it was about 25% more than the second stage held. In layman's terms, you didn't need a quarter of your fuel supply. So I got rid of it, balanced it all out, and this was what I got! I never could have made this from scratch, though. You have talent.
@Garuda1 Thanks! I was actually drawn to yours by the blacked out images, but your description made me consider flying it, and I was surprised how much I liked it. I'm surprised your ratings aren't higher.
Weird coincidence indeed... @KingDeadshot
It was purely by accident. I was inspired by the COD Zombies perk-a-cola, Deadshot Daquiri. 😆 @KingDeadshot
@Shmexysmpilot, @Rohan, and @PlanesAndThings, I really appreciate the positive feedback! Thanks!
Thanks, @Rohan and @PlanesAndThings
This is nothing like the F-16A, not even remotely. You just ripped off AVIA's F-35, duplicated the bombs, and tossed engines on the top.
@Rohan Nope.
And thanks! It took hours to make, especially since I wanted it to be as accurate as possible.@Viper28
Fixed. @Viper28 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1p0CF5/SR-71A-Blackbird-FIXED
It's named the Blackbird, not the Oxcart...
@Jackie Not to mention that it still holds the highest altitude record for sustained flight.

No worries, @Allstarship. I'll test it out and come back with a rating.
*Lightning II
@PuhBuhGuh *salutes*
Thanks, @LordofLego.
@Kirbyshammer Yeah, alright. Sorry for trashing your methods and planes.
Four planes... The jets? Those actually each took about a day to make. I tried to make them as perfect as I could, aesthetically and physically. The first one was a concept, second was an aesthetic and technical improvement, third was a purely aesthetic concept, and the last was a technical improvement. @Kirbyshammer
And you did the same. You insulted my planes and motives. I'd like the apology now. @Kirbyshammer
The only technical aspects that are the same are wing loading and control surfaces. Everything else is completely different. @Kirbyshammer
@Kirbyshammer I made mine to work with the existing parts, yet maintain similarity to the original, when either flying or observing. And yet it still manages to be different.

I have trouble believing that. Most likely a coincidence. Can you upload the plane temporarily so I can see it?@Kirbyshammer
I don't want a five star rating. I want an honest rating. The apology, yes. @Kirbyshammer
@Kirbyshammer This is my plane. Did you try flying them, maybe?
@JacobHardy64 Thanks for letting me know! The only thing I wasn't happy about was that bouncing on takeoff... But oh well, I'm sure the newer version that the devs will create will be amazing.
/get. out./ @Kirbyshammer
Thank you, @JacobHardy64. At least someone here actually reads. What did you think)
@Kirbyshammer I said get out.

But is it the exact same design, @Kirbyshammer? Check the specs for both and compare, I dare you.
@KirbysHammer And who are you to tell me I've snatched cheap points? You've got duplicate planes in your uploads, not to mention /challenges/, which I know, in your case, are nothing but point-farms.

@WaterAirLand Read the header. It says "Based off of @PhilipTarpley's P-51 Mustang". Which backs up my story, and not yours.
Same to you, @WaterAirLand.
@Kirbyshammer Seriously? I built this from the old model, straight out of defaults. If I'd copied yours, wouldn't it say so?
@WaterAirLand @Kirbyshammer I replaced the prop, pieces, and wheels, while retaining the actual plane's design. If either of you would bother to read the plane description before hastily judging the plane I've built, you would know that.
@mattmck Nope. Check the default plane. It still has the default prop, default wheels, and the default blocks. :) Same to you, @Kirbyshammer.
The COL is too close to the COM. @FighterCrafter14
Same problem.@FighterCrafter14
Still doesn't fly on High physics.
I'll turn my physics up and see what happens. If it flies, I'll change the rating. @FighterCrafter14
You're welcome. @DragonKing

I already made one.
Looks sleek, flies terribly. You have a ridiculous amount of dead weight on this plane.
@TheSoundofLight Sweet. Can't wait.
@LordofLego That, I can do. :)
