I know the flaps are aggressive haha but I think it’s pretty cool that you can fly around 20 feet off the ground at 22mph with a reasonably good amount of control :) @jamesPLANESii
Haha totally! I haven’t watched it enough to recognize specific bots but I do watch YouTube highlights sometimes and I love it!!! What an incredibly great idea. It’s a great way to satisfy that bloodlust like other violent sports, except that no one gets hurt! And also it’s a fantastic marriage of sport fighting/athleticism and something academic (engineering/applied physics). So cool. @AWESOMENESS360
My first thought was “Hi-Hat Designs” you know, like on a drum set? And it sounds like Hyatt. I dunno, maybe that’s dumb... what do you think? @Chancey21
Hmmm, yeah. I tried to bury the T1000 part in there cause I don’t like the way it looks too much, but I don’t want the blades touching the fairing when the rotor pitch is out all the way. One of the limitations of SP, I guess. Or I just haven’t figured out a good way around it haha. @XjayIndustrys
@BogdanX hey man, I was hoping I could get your opinion on this? I just loved the Dynofox so much, it was kind of my inspiration for this plane, even though it looks totally different... also I used a couple of Dynofox parts on this. So I’m really curious to hear what you think! :)
So yeah, I think you need to move the center of mass forward and move the center of life backward (if you can) and also change the airfoil on your primary wings from ‘symmetric’ to ‘semi-symmetric’ or ‘flat bottom’. That should hopefully correct the problems with the flight characteristics. Also you might want to reduce the diameter of the props because it’s difficult to avoid prop strike during take off. @CrazyCatZe
Actually it’s based on a kit plane called “Savage Bobber” which as far as I know is not an STOL plane, it’s just an ultralight kit plane. @JelloAircraftCorporation
There’s some CoM/CoL balance issues, I would say, which makes it so the plane fights you when you try to pitch up hard, but other than that it’s pretty good! Especially for not having been flight tested at all hahaha! @CrazyCatZe
Hmmm. Okay. Maybe something minimal and modern would be better... @Chancey21
I think old school will be better for when I’m building older planes, right? @Chancey21
Wow really interesting design! I totally dig it great job!!

Haha yeah. I firmed up the suspension a bit on the later version. @jamesPLANESii
:) thank you! @ThePrototype

Sure! Thank you so much! :) @Chancey21
Sounds kinda old-timey, which is good if I’m gonna do early-aircraft replica-type builds @Chancey21
I think I’m gonna go with Henry & Sons Aircraft Company, or H&S AirCo for short @Chancey21
Yeah I know I’m saying it was a great idea to build one in SP. that show is so awesome! @AWESOMENESS360
What an awesome idea! Great job!
My first thought was “Hi-Hat Designs” you know, like on a drum set? And it sounds like Hyatt. I dunno, maybe that’s dumb... what do you think? @Chancey21
Omg thank you that would be amazing! I guess I just need to come up with a name... @Chancey21
Dang, I hadn’t even considered doing that... that’s a great idea! @Chancey21
Please do! :) @Kungfuevan
Wow really awesome design! Great job!

Yep, sure was! This thing is perfect! I love it!!! @LiamW
Thank you! :) @CrazyCatZe
:) @CrazyCatZe
Awesome!!! Love the interior!
@CrazyCatZe That’s cool man, it’s still a really fantastic build!
Haha yeah. Although it does look a good deal like the lil cub. @JelloAircraftCorporation

Wow very cool! The Valkyrie was my favorite plane when I was a kid. Great job, I love it!!!
Wow this thing is crazy fast! You’ve never really been lost until you’re lost going 15,000 mph hahaha. This is really cool I love it great job!
Hahaha! @XjayIndustrys
Haha @XjayIndustrys
:) haha. My girlfriend in high school used to say “cool beans” all the time. I wonder what ever became of her... @XjayIndustrys
@SmashGrabJr Make it look different from what?
@ThePrototype Thanks! :)
@Chancey21 hey, thanks! This is like, my first whole build that wasn’t a low-effort. Although it sorta looks low effort as I’m looking at it now haha.
Ah okay gotcha... any ideas? Haha @ThePrototype
Ok, yeah, thanks. I think I might just do that. @ThePrototype
Ah okay. Cool thanks for the tips. @Chancey21
Btw thank you! :) @Chancey21
I love it!!!! @Thehiguy
Sweet!!! @AtomicCyclone

Ummm I haven’t picked one yet... why? @ThePrototype

:) @SwiftAirTM
Dang that sucks :( congrats in the gold though! @CrazyCatZe
Wow. Absolutely stunning. I love the camp and I really love the cockpit. Truly fantastic work, I’m very impressed
Awesome plane, great job!!!
:) @BaconRoll
Oh okay, right on, thank you! @Sarpanitu
