Love the idea, your right she don't fly well but the wing mechanism is brilliant, and the scale is pretty close. Keep going with it, can't wait to see the next verson
Looks great, flies really well. Slight tendency to pitch down but nothing to fret about. Very maneuverable. Fast. And it don't break. Great aircraft, can't wait to see more
Thanks for checking her out @scriefers I would fit more engines but was having issues with the balance. I like to say she is a cargo copter, and as such isn't a fast aircraft and need flying with care and Delicacy. Makes her more fun to fly, and more satisfying when u get it right. Will be uploading 3 more payloads tomorrow evening. Keep an eye out for email. Kat.
Doh, didn't see this. And didn't read the Reddit properly. Does my aircraft count for your competition.

Great evolution, love seeing what people can do with my ideas and this is brilliant. Much better than mine. Great improvement. Hit uss jundroo right in the tower, after about a million tries. Great fun. Well done.
Could you do me a massive favour. U make awesome tanks, could you make one using not too many parts and not too bad, with its COM in the center of the tank to go with this...

I was gonna make one but yours look so cool. Don't worry about it being too tall, got an idea to use detacher ropes. Thanking you in advance, Kat.
Incredible, stable, flies well. And very nice design. Looks like u have said "wonder what happens if I strap jets and a wing to this pig, wow look at it go"
Wee baby, I'd love too but already suffering the dreaded cruddy tab lag on it, but if u wanna have a go at modding it, please do. Would love to see it.
It's a wee bit Laggy, but not easy to fly is an understatement. Had to put wheels on the rope to stop it dragging along the ground and exploding, and the pitch up at takeoff is violent. Fun tho. Loving the mods to the hang glider too. Much more realistic. Thank you for building
Perfect replica. Loving your work thomasjef. Keep these unusual plane replicas coming, like this and the the ekranoplan. Btw could you design a tug plane and soft decoupler link for my new hang glider pretty please. I've tried n failed. Thanks hun.
@jeremye300 will do tomoz. Can't wait to see what u come up with
thanks @WeeBabySeamus she took a while to perfect, but I really enjoy her looks.
Awesome, I forsee many more projects like this popping up in the future. I might do one soon. Excellent concept
@funkpod not yet i think, some model mechs but i couldnt see why it wouldnt work if finely balanced like geoff
Ha ha, was gonna build one of these this weekend. Gotta think of something new now
Geoff goes weeeeeeee. I think he liked it. Certainly a unique way to take off. Nice work.
@aceshigh Geoff is in his workshop working on his next gadget. Probably be done in the next few days
@ElijtheGeat better than no rating at all I suppose
@BeryllCorp shhhhhhhh, I was already arming him with detacher cannons. Just perfecting it before I release.
Awww thanks @thomasjaf
brilliant first entry. coated jundoo in bombs. Ace.
Great work, flies nicely. Plus he fires his junk off. V funny

Great thing. Also competition prize
Epic, loving your work. Just in time for piggy competition.
@LooneyBin that's a cool idea, thank you

Glad you enjoy it @LoonyBin it does take an expert pilot to master Her, do you have any susuggestions for additional payloads
An interesting bug, very delicate. Crumples like it's made of glass
@RanceR save the payloads as sub assemblys (for later use) then trash the 3 your not using. That frees it up and it shouldn't lag.
@RanceR not a problem. Thank you
@RanceR ive created a better mk 2 version if your interested
Thank you for editing my Pelikan, but please remember to credit the original builder

For them, bloody auto correct

Ok, here's my submission for your competition. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/0GQOj0/Antonov-A-40-Kryla-Tanka-flying-tank-replica
Keep the tank under 20mph and she is ok
I did notice the props tapping but it's dosent seem to affect anything. 1000 ft drop, that's amazing.

Thanks, hopefully your rotating blocks update might be her. For now she can just be a fancy model
Amazing to look at, amazing to fly, softest landing I've ever done. Thought I was still flying as I kissed the runway. Perfect
Oh, and it don't need engines or wheels, just needs to be a model I can airlift around. Again, thank you.

@PhilipTarpley thank you. And massive thanks for featuring me. And humongous thanks for supporting my competition. Means an awful lot to me
Oh, and the parp nozzle made me laugh so much I crashed
Just perfect. Looks exactly how I imagine a flying pig would look. And the vtol is set up beautifully
Incredible, stable, flies well. And very nice design. Looks like u have said "wonder what happens if I strap jets and a wing to this pig, wow look at it go"
Thanks, I hope it promotes more contests. What do you think to the idea of the 5* on all the winners planes as a reward
Thanks nassasin, your my best test pilot. ad you find it fun. I reZlly enjoy trying to tame this creation

Thanks hun. Can't believe a dev likes my stuff
