Yeah, I wasn’t able to find a lot of information about the dimensions of the airplane, mostly I just did the best estimates I could based on pics. I got it close enough for it to be passable I guess lol. So feel free to use the dimensions of that build to work off of if you can’t find a better source than I used. But I actually mis-calculated when scaling that build; the wingspan is 20.4 when it should be ~29. So if you do use these dimensions, you’ll probably want to scale up from the size of that build by a factor of ~1.4 (size-wise, not weight or power etc.). As for other information on the plane, the best source I found online was just the company’s main website, I think it’s justaircraft.com. And yeah, feel free to tag me on your WIPs, I’d love to see how it’s going and help if I can :)

Weather gets pretty crazy sometimes. I like it when you see a rain cloud a mile or two away that’s dumping rain and has a very clearly defined border where the rain stops.
This is just such a fantastic build. Looks are amazing, livery is top shelf. The cockpit is simple and partial, gives just enough immersion effect without being a huge part count burden, plus the moving of the perspective when pulling up hard is great. Performance as far as I would know is spot on. All the AG functions are useful/real, not dumb or unrealistic, and they add a lot to the realism of the plane. Building craftsmanship is completely top builder level. My favorite part though, is the landing gear. Great look and mechanism, very clever with the covers, opening and closing half fast, half slow, minimizing the wheel-going-through-cover problem. I just love the lg. And finally, the description presentation is attractive, informative, entertaining, and on par with the quality of the plane. Exemplary work my friend, I’m so impressed.
Nice looking plane! As for feedback, here’s a couple things that could be fixed:
-the roll rate is too slow.
-the three stabilizer wings are too big in proportion to the plane. Also it would add a lot to the look of the plane if you put a custom airfoil shape over them like on the primary wings.
-with the suspension, there shouldn’t be any reason that you’d need x1000000 strength and damper. I’m not totally sure the numbers, but I don’t think there would ever be a reason for strength and damper to be more than, idk, x50 or maybe x100 or something. Maybe less. Try putting them at lower settings and maybe try putting the damper at a much lower setting. Sometimes the damper seems to make the spring unable to carry load for some reason. But before you do that... All the bouncing doesn’t mean your spring is too weak, it means you have a different problem. It looks like a clearance/collision problem to me. So with overload, try disabling aircraft collisions on every single part that makes up the landing gear, except maybe the wheels themselves. [disableAircraftCollisions]=[true]. If that is the culprit, then you should be able to decrease the strength and damper multiplied a ton. If that doesn’t fix it, then it might be a problem with wheel physics, but I’m not sure, and it may not be as easy to diagnose. But try the aircraft collisions thing first.
-and finally, it would really add a lot to the quality of your plane if you added flaps. And then, when you really want to take it to the next level, try working on making custom control surfaces on all the wings.
I honestly was just thinking how the heck did I never come across this before? Lol crazy. I just recently noticed this on one of his planes and it blew my mind and now it blew my mind again how simple it is. @randomusername
I was patient and took my time, instead of rushing to get it posted in 48 hours like I always do... so I am pretty proud of myself and proud of the outcome, yes, thank you :) also a personal best upvote-wise, which I know is just a number, and my vanity shouldn’t be important. But also it hopefully means that some people enjoyed playing with it, which I think is important, and does make me feel good. So short answer is yes, I feel plenty rewarded. Probably more than is warranted but I’ll take it! Lol
@ACEPILOT109
There’s tiny jets attached to the elevators and rudder and then one jet engine turned backwards to counteract their net forward thrust. So then when stopped or at low speeds it acts like there’s prop wash. I couldn’t get it calibrated just right, so it causes the plane to be too maneuverable during normal flight, so I had to give it an on/off switch. @ACEPILOT109
Haha yeah that is a bit of a problem with high part counts... it flies pretty similar to the first one apart from the prop wash and flaps.
@ACEPILOT109
I am honored to be of service my friend!
@ACEPILOT109
Absolutely:)

@ACEPILOT109
Ah yes I remember now. Well it looks like I have a little feedback after the fact but still, I’m sorry I missed the chance while you were building :/
Ok well I’ll check it out @ACEPILOT109
Jeez I’m sorry man, I don’t know how I missed it... Well how did it turn out?
@ACEPILOT109
Oh gotcha @Gameboi14
+1Hmm ok. Doesn’t really look like my kind of thing lol sorry
@Gameboi14
Nope

+2Haha fair enough buddy :)
+1@Gameboi14
She’s built like a steakhouse but she handles like a bistro!
+1Oops did I ever reply to this comment? It looks like I overlooked it somehow @ACEPILOT109
Well given Codsworth and Mr Gutsy and whatever, I’m pretty confident that FO4 is Fallout 4 lol
+1@Gameboi14
Lol I’m trying to think of an example of paying rent for property in FO. Just go to the property you like and kill everyone there lol.
Oh man someone else made a cool Caproni I have to find it @IStoleYourMeme
Cool, it’s like a ducted fan, I dig it! Like the way it flies too
A fun, cool build; good looking, nice livery, well crafted, well balanced, I like it a lot
What a great build to reach that landmark @MasterKiryu
Also congrats on your recent (I think) platinum! :)
Awesome!! :) :)
@MasterKiryu @AWESOMENESS360
Sweet build!
How about the “Pterobus”?
+1Well they should it was worth it :)

+1Cool!
+1Great build. Awesome look, very well crafted, flies beautifully. Really impressive work, sir!
Very cool!
+1Crazy
Hahaha
+1@Gameboi14
Cool man! Cool looking, flies well. I guess I’d say the pitch rate could be just a tiny bit quicker, and maybe some air brakes?
+1:) keep doing what you’re doing! Haha @LegnaK
Wow fantastic build.
+2Awesome :) let me know how it goes with the bouncing suspension @Gameboi14

Hope some of that was helpful!
Very nice!
Lol it has a self destruct button!
Now I have to rebuild the superstol lol

+4Oh awesome thanks so much for posting a video! This coulda come in handy a long time ago, how is it that I never noticed?
+2What is the secret to the twisty fuselage inlet blocks?
Lol gotcha. Well it flies just fine without them. @ACEPILOT109

@ACEPILOT109
Oops I’ve spotlighted too much today
+2Looks good, nice craftsmanship, great handling, all around solid build. Nice work :)
Cool plane, flies great!! Are you going to add a trim function or rudder? Flaps would be sweet too although I don’t know where you’d put em lol.
Love the way this thing looks and flies, great job.
Thank you so much. I can’t tell you what that means to me, coming from you. I’m honored :)
@SpiritusRaptor
So long and thanks for all the fish.
