I just used regular scotch tape to fix my Champ's completely sheared off wing when I hit a lightpole with it. I made sure the tape was completely sealed where the wing attached to the fuselage. So far its holding up pretty good.

Glad you liked it! I have a 2nd generation pod that is in the works and will employ the use of hollow fuselages to greatly decrease part count!
Thanks for creating one of the best Yukiakze replicas in SP! I'm currently working on a Yukikaze build as well, except it's based on the Yukikaze from the novels instead of the anime (Yukikaze in the novel looks like an F-15 on steroids).
Cessna 182 Modern AND Classic. Both are just too good for me to choose.
Side Note: I've actually watched TI-ABE (the 4th Cessna pic) compete at a STOL competition during my local airport's annual fly-in (Arlington Fly-In). TI-ABE is one incredible STOL machine.
Eh, I don't celebrate Halloween (u might be able to guess why). But anyways, cool truck! You make some of the best truck builds in SP. The Highway Colonel is definitely my fav.

I knew that one would ruff some feathers. Just watch this entire playlist by Juan Browne (aka blancolirio) covering the entire 737 MAX saga, and his exceptional reporting on the matter, far better than the mainstream news IMO. He's also a pilot, has flown in the USAF, and I believe he has flown the 737, 757, 767, and 777 (but I definitely know he flies the 777). TL;DR: The only reason MCAS exists is to satisfy the FAA's requirements on type-ratings & certificates so the 737 MAX can share the same certificate & pilot type-rating as the previous 737 models, as they've always been able to do (and so does every other major aircraft family like the E-Jets, 747, A320, CRJ, A330, 767, 757, etc...). The 737 MAX flies just fine without MCAS, and isn't more prone to stalling than the previous NG model, and it CERTAINLY isn't an "unstable" airframe. It just handles differently than the previous 737 models, and those differences are most noticed when the MAX is lightly loaded with an aft CG and at high AoA. This is where the "instability/more prone to stalling" myth came from, whether intentional or just lazy journalism on the MSM's part. The handling differences were great enough between the NG & MAX that the MAX would not be able to share the same type-ratings. So Boeing developed MCAS (which was based off of a pre-existing control augmentation system on the NG called "speed trim") to adjust the 737 MAX's handling in the pitch department so it mirrored that of the NG, and it could pass the FAA's requirements and share the same type-rating. The problem is that MCAS, while originally much weaker in it's conception, was morphed into a system that had too much control authority/pressure over the pilots, was a single-point failure system (relying on 1 AoA sensor at a time, even if the MAX had duel sensors, which WASN'T an option but was standard), and Boeing thought they could get away with MCAS being a background problem with no way for the pilots to disable or troubleshoot it. There's nothing wrong with the 737 MAX or even MCAS and it's role it's supposed to accomplish; MCAS just wasn't engineered or thought out very well.
Looks like it needs a new motor. A motor replacement shouldn't be too pricey. I think I paid around $15 for a new gearbox & motor for my Hobbyzone Champ when the engine got banged up pretty good in a crash (motor literally came off from where it was mounted and I had to cut up the cowl and re-glue it back in place). Although the original motor still runs fine, so I haven't replaced it with the new spare yet.

No I don't have my PPL yet. I'll hopefully start full-time flight training some time this spring or summer. If I go international I only want to fly cargo, and I hear UPS is one of the best cargo airlines anyone could fly for. I also wouldn't mind flying for Omni Air International, which is a US-based company that does international & military charters.

Do unmanned ground vehicles/tanks count as well?
k bye have a great time

You need to XML-mod its size, which you can use the Overload mod to do that.

Its a real shame the F-20 never picked up any customers. Looks like it was a terrific fighter. Also, that dancing ferret is adorable.

Np! Your builds are top quality and deserve all the points you can get! This is also one really damn fine trophy/pedestal you made here.

You did an incredible job with the cockpit as well.
Wow this design is very beautiful & elegant!

RailfanEthan didn't invent the term, if that's what your getting at. He just popularized it here.
