Awesome little biplane! I really like the landing gear and engine exhaust and livery, all nice touches. Whole plane looks and flies great!! It has a little bit of a prop-strike problem, and it could use a trim function. But other than that I love it! Great job!
Thanks man! :) yeah, you’re right, it flies unrealistically well. I think I tend to build my planes that way cause I’m not all that great of a pilot. I guess also I like the idea that just about anybody could have fun flying my planes. But you have a good point, maybe I should try making them a little more realistic. Maybe it would help me hone my piloting skills more too, haha. @Chancey21
@Treadmill103 thanks for the upvote man, and thanks for the earlier spotlight, I know that was a little crummy of me to repost the plane a second time. My fault for not taking my time and going over the build patiently before posting :/
Thanks man!! It’s a combination of things, as you might expect; first, you’ll notice that the wing loading is very low, unrealistically low. Because all five wing parts are much bigger than you would expect, especially the primary wings and the vertical stabilizer. But all the wing parts are 0.1 scale and hidden, as I’m sure you know. Also, the primary wings are moved outboard on the “wings” (fuselage parts), which helps a lot with the roll stabilization. Then; pretty much all the fuselage parts and other parts on the plane (besides the wing parts) have zero or very little drag. Also, the entire plane is scaled down by 0.5 from the original size that I built it, that helps with stabilization too. And after that; just your standard trial and error with getting the center of lift and center of mass in the right positions with respect to each other, as well as fiddling with the size of the control surfaces. I hope all of that made sense... hahaha. @ChiChiWerx
Wow this is great! You’re right it is pretty tricky to fly haha. At least for me it is. And maybe that’s historically accurate anyway. But the construction itself is fantastic! I don’t know how the heck you build all those mechanical linkages it is so cool!
Cool. I still don’t know why that’s happened though. I uploaded plenty of builds in the past without anything written in the description... @ACEPILOT109
Then you pull up a file/build/airplane inside the app/program/game, then click the menu button again and at the top there’s a “Share Aircraft” button. Click on that, and then it should be self-explanatory from there on. @An225Maria
Thanks man, that’s really nice to hear you say that. Maybe my presentation is bad? I don’t mean to complain about the recognition I’ve received, because I am grateful, but I guess I did think more people would enjoy it. @ThePilotDude

Haha “this way up” I didn’t notice that the first time. That’s awesome :)
:) well deserved! @GenericWhiteGuy
Wow. Really incredible build. Great job!
I’m not sure what you mean by that... @Kentheman
Haha right on, thanks man :)
Can you rephrase your question? I don’t understand what you mean... @tsampoy
Man that is so awesome!!! They are such cool planes, I’m totally jealous! And thank you :) :) @DavidFlint513cf
:) @Mustang51
Wow this is absolutely spectacular!
Thanks! :) @MisterT
Cool!
Yeah you’re right they should be slanted the other way @Chancey21
How do you think the airfoil turned out on this one? Anything I need to improve? @Chancey21

Absolutely fantastic work.

What a great compliment, thank you so much!!! :) @OldManWinter1945
No haha. But I hope you replace it before it completely dies haha @ThePrototype
Happy to do it :) great work! @ThePrototype
Haha yeah I bet you’ve had about a thousand headaches building these things on your phone haha @ThePrototype
What an awesome bush plane! I had to load it without the instruments, but it flies fantastically well and that wing airfoil is incredible!
Wow this is great! You’re right it is pretty tricky to fly haha. At least for me it is. And maybe that’s historically accurate anyway. But the construction itself is fantastic! I don’t know how the heck you build all those mechanical linkages it is so cool!
:) thank you @pilot186
Haha! Always loved those games! @CaptainConny45
Thanks!! :) :) @MrSilverWolf
Awesome little biplane! Roll rate is a bit on the slow side, but it flies great anyway :) looks fantastic!
Thanks man :) I will keep doing my best! @F104Deathtrap
Cool. I still don’t know why that’s happened though. I uploaded plenty of builds in the past without anything written in the description... @ACEPILOT109
Ah ok right on. I hope you’re having an awesome vacation!! @ThePrototype
Wow, really awesome plane, I love it!!!
Really awesome plane. The detail work is absolutely fantastic. Great work!
Thanks man! @F104Deathtrap
Thanks very much!! :) @Trainzo
:) thanks man! @JelloAircraftCorporation
Haha ok right on @GenericWhiteGuy
That is so cool!!!! @LeonardoEngineering
Weren’t we talking about the Le Bris Artificial Albatross? Or was that with someone else? @ThePrototype
Agreed! @Milo1628xa
Thanks man! Yeah me too, they’re so pretty! @Treadmill103
Haha right on thank you :) @destroyerP

Is that good? Haha.. @destroyerP

Looks awesome!!! :)
Really creative design. I love it!
Did it work? @ACEPILOT109
Write something in the description box and then try uploading @ACEPILOT109
How’s the albatross coming? @ThePrototype
