What I meant was, when I made the wings smaller the flight characteristics changed in a way that was bad so I kept messing around with it and it seemed to keep getting worse so I just put it back the way it was. Hence the low wing loading and low stall speed. @jamesPLANESii
Yeah, I know it takes off a little too easy, and I think the stall speed is too slow. Thanks for the spotlight, I’m sorry I didn’t make those changes you suggested, but honestly it was just too much for me to handle. I think your assessment of my building skill might be higher than my actual skill... but thank you, I really appreciate your help, and I definitely agree that your suggestions would have made it much better. Keep in mind I’ve only been building for about two months haha :/ @Chancey21 @jamesPLANESii
Hmmmm... I’m sorry man I dunno... :/ you might post on the forums, I’m sure it’s a problem that’s been encountered by someone before... I guess I could try re-uploading the plane... @SaturnV
Hmmm... I’m sorry, I don’t know why not, there’s no mods... when you load it in, does it just load in the default cockpit with two blocks underneath? If so, right after download, try hitting the back button and then the forward button. That might get it to load properly... @8bitgamer33
Buddy I think your building process is way more advanced than mine. When I make a replica I mostly use pictures and blueprint drawings. Are you saying you could build the coot using only a list of dimensions? I’m starting to think it might be a bad idea for me to attempt to build it, considering how much you love it... I don’t want to mess it up... I’m not trying to be snarky here, but how come you haven’t built one yourself? I mean, you’re a way more skilled builder than I am... @Chancey21
Haha yeah I know what plane I based this on. Are you talking about John Monnett? Do you have a source for this claim about him getting killed in his plane? It’s not that I don’t believe you necessarily, but I tried to look it up and couldn’t find anything about it. @Velocita
Honestly man I think I’d like to go ahead with the Henry & Sons with a modern logo. I think that will still be cool. If you still want to do it haha @Chancey21
Ok. Well let me give it some more thought then. I mean, I’d be down with a modern logo for H&S but also I would defer to your judgement on such things... @Chancey21
True. But it’s easy to add more! :) :) @Justrandomman
Wow, really cool idea! Fun to fly, looks great!
No problem. Thanks man, I really do appreciate your help and feedback very much! :) @jamesPLANESii

Ok thanks. Just FYI you could have told me that without the sarcasm. @jamesPLANESii
I’d still like to see that wing structure base if it’s all the same to you @Chancey21
Awesome, looking great man!!! I’m sure that frame was tricky. Can’t wait to see the finished product! :)
Once I scaled it down, the weight was so much lower, and I couldn’t figure out how to fix the whole wing load/stall speed issue... @jamesPLANESii

@JelloAircraftCorporation how’s the basket case coming along?
Haha! I am too. Right on man thank you! @Treadmill103
Haha ok man. I’m sorry it wouldn’t dL for you @SaturnV
Hmmmm... I’m sorry man I dunno... :/ you might post on the forums, I’m sure it’s a problem that’s been encountered by someone before... I guess I could try re-uploading the plane... @SaturnV
Sounds awesome! @Thehiguy
Hmmm... I’m sorry, I don’t know why not, there’s no mods... when you load it in, does it just load in the default cockpit with two blocks underneath? If so, right after download, try hitting the back button and then the forward button. That might get it to load properly... @8bitgamer33
Thanks man! Yeah I will definitely consider doing that, they are awesome! @JohnnyBoythePilot
Hey, thanks man! You are too, obviously. Congrats on the gold! @BurkeEnterprise
Hahahah a right on @BurkeEnterprise
Yeah, it definitely requires some downward pitch at higher speed. @BurkeEnterprise
You got featured too! That’s great man you definitely earned it. @BurkeEnterprise
Oops I forgot to upvote earlier haha. Seriously, great job buddy I love it. I will definitely be playing around with it some more :) @BurkeEnterprise
This is far and away the best rigid airship I’ve seen on sp. really fantastic work. Fun to fly, too. Seriously, great job!
Haha yeah it is. Except for the artificial horizon. That’s pretty complicated (I didn’t build that) @P3KProject
Is it? Haha ok well thank you that’s nice of you to say. I’ll keep trying @Chancey21
Oh gotcha. Oh well hahah @Chancey21
Fantastic! Great suspension, definitely some of the best I’ve seen. I don’t know how the heck you built it but I’m glad you did!
If you’ve got drawings of the coot that you’d care to share, it might give me a boost enough that I might succeed haha @Chancey21
That is very sad :( I’m sorry to hear that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. @Velocita
Oooh! Have you done drawings of the coot?? @Chancey21
Ok, good idea, I’ll take that apart and see how it’s constructed. It’s fantastic, by the way. @Chancey21
Ok man I’ll try it :/ haha @Chancey21
Looks awesome! Thank you! Now I have to learn how to build it in sp lol. I guess I can probably do it ... @Chancey21

Thank you! :) it is pretty cute isn’t it? Hahaha @ThePrototype
Haha yeah I know what plane I based this on. Are you talking about John Monnett? Do you have a source for this claim about him getting killed in his plane? It’s not that I don’t believe you necessarily, but I tried to look it up and couldn’t find anything about it. @Velocita
Hmmm yeah I guess so @Chancey21
Looks great! I just want black. Can you do a version that just has the letters H&S? @Chancey21
Haha dang I was hoping there would be a bit more... hard to find I guess! Thanks for finding this for me though, this’ll help! @Chancey21
This is a really awesome little plane! Great work man, I love it!
Haha. Agreed. @AWESOMENESS360
What do you mean? @Velocita
Honestly man I think I’d like to go ahead with the Henry & Sons with a modern logo. I think that will still be cool. If you still want to do it haha @Chancey21
Do you happen to know where I could find some blueprint drawings of the coot? I did a quick google and couldn’t find anything... @Chancey21
Oh yeah haha for sure. Same basic layout but fewer cup holders;) @AWESOMENESS360
Oh haha okay gotcha. Right on man! @XjayIndustrys
Ok. Well let me give it some more thought then. I mean, I’d be down with a modern logo for H&S but also I would defer to your judgement on such things... @Chancey21
Well I’ve already posted a plane with that name... I mean I guess that’s not a big deal. Maybe I should just go with the old school logo? @Chancey21
Thanks! :) @GenericWhiteGuy
Thanks man! That is so cool! @Chancey21
Let’s go with modern @Chancey21
