I have made an RC hover craft with some fans a bit of plywood and a bin bag it's simple but if you get it wrong things get.... Nasty my little hovercraft ended up at the bottom of a lake after the skirt exploded.... On its 2nd run sigh... 5 quid down the drain almost Litteraly
I have heard that going at speed on water is not the most safe motor sport to get into... Sir Henry Seagrave rather ironically ended up in the sea.... Killed in his speed boat trying to take the water speed record back for the British empire,
I would suggest trying to utilize this fan as a means of creating a ducted fan powered machine, either a model plane or possibly a car, hovercraft more risky, more things to go wrong, a normal boat on the other hand would be good, you could use the fan as an impeller for extra propulsion and make a hull capable of planeing, go for it!
I don't wish to argue, my bro would do that, I am the guy who uses words to stop war, you can understand right that this was posted almost exactly the same time when my bro had a horrible hate argument because he spent hours on making a Vulcan bomber and someone said horrible things about it, he got angry, very angry, and then you posted this... At the same time someone else posted an un credited copy you don't have to go against him for one one star rating, it's just a rating and its not even your plane so you wouldn't have felt much if it got 5 star if you make your own or heavily modify someone else's you get more reward mentally and on the sight :) pu@Johawks1976
Ahhh lol sorry about that and putting things on the wrong way round I had a few days when I got Realy confused cause I was devising a computer CPUS @Wiim2112
I think u should have another go and build a lifeboat interior :) this is the only of 3 succesors of my aircraft that I've been acctualy wowed by its a great repaint....Gg at least you gave credit to the PRED
Phew man do u play WOT Blitz? on the EU server? Cause that's where I am I reckon I could help you with your tanks even tho I cocentrate on mainly russian and german designs :)
Lol just downloaded this again and was surprised that it was no bigger than my supermarine I think in future if multiplayer is added lol we could hold a proper Schneider trophy ;)
@MeetThyDoom I just thought I should say (I know it's been a month) that if you sent me a friend request I probably didn't get it because I had turned them all off when I was in a server full of weirdos and forgot to turn them back on!
@Rb2h it isn't a normal wing part of course, but you can probably find it if you cannibalise it! (The little wing pieces that the wires attach to on the elevators are - if memory serves me well, the part in its default mode) Also, I uploaded a "trusty toolbox" many years ago that has the modded wing part I used to use if you can't find it in my builds.
Is this a case of discrimination or a valid test? I'd be extremely annoyed if my aspergers prevented me from getting a flying license- or doing anything for that matter.
There are nineteen frets on a guitar, 12th meets with the body, there are also no pegs- this type of guitar would have them sticking out the back of the head.
@VVMC It was completed about a month ago. Ive been very busy with the sailing ship- but that's almost done- ive just got to add some clutter to the deck like pumps, lifeboats and anchors and finish the Rigging and it will be done.
@VVMC Any particular variant? There are several. The main differences are that early ones have canards and latter ones did not.
I have to give you a disclaimer, My speed while building is oft compared to that of a sloth. And I'm currently working on two major builds, a morane saulnier parasol and a sailing ship. But the saulnier is near completion as it only needs rigging. And as I normally do two projects at a time I'll probably consider it as its been a while since I made a farman style aeroplane.
I'm building a tea clipper for some boat building practice in order for me to make the Dreadnought. And hopefully some day HMS Victory as ive got some very detailed plans of it.
But my current hull making techniques of building a frame mirroring the shape of what I want then covering it in fuselage blocks has not been working well. It lets me envision the hull shape I want to build, but its incredibly frustrating as it's almost impossible to make it!
So unless the devs come out with a patch for bending fuselage blocks I don't think I'll finish my clipper- a shame as ive grown quite attached to it.
@Zanedavid No prob, I made one years ago. I remember it was very hard to get it to fly, but that was before the days of fuselage blocks and dead weight settings. Good luck!

@MeetThyDoom I'm so sorry dear friend long long long time no see!
The real question is, why weren't you addicted to them before?
Absolutely fabulous, well done sir!
I tried to make something similar many, many, many years ago — it is so nice to see what is possible nowadays! My hat is sincerely off in respect!
Light blue ford transits, they follow me everywhere and I swear it's the same one.
@POPACC with wings, of course.
I can never forget biplanes
@Rb2h https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/YcfDX7/Planesofolds-new-trusty-toolboxQA
I assume that they are in here (possibly) I don't remember.
As for cannibalising them you may more easily find them on here:
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/FlpD55/R-A-F-F-E1-De-Havilland-biplane-No-2
The undercarriage skids and much of the frame I think. Anyways, happy building.

@Graingy indeed
@DatTrainGuy19 I am fine, don't worry. New pastures etc etc.
@ColonelRelford
Regrettably, I have not finished any projects since the plague year, as I decided that it would be best to retire.
It would be a good build for bonfire night though, now that I think about it.
Perhaps another year, another time. I have not the fury nor love to spend on creating anything anymore.
That me died what feels like many years ago, and it is odd to look round this place, where it is fossilised as a monument to my youthful imbecility.
I enjoyed your little fable by the way. It contained a good moral lesson.
Perhaps "that guy" still lurks around in the bushes living as some kind of budget Crusoe.
But really, I think his bones are being bleached by the sun; tumbling in the warm sand, returning to dust for eternity.
@ColonelRelford because I saw you had wished me one, and I understood it to be the season of jollity and forgiveness; so why should I not respond?
As for my okayness, I am okay.
Is this a case of discrimination or a valid test? I'd be extremely annoyed if my aspergers prevented me from getting a flying license- or doing anything for that matter.
@KnightOfRen The image worked on my PC.
Babbage analytical engine when?
This has been going on for as long as the game has had a website.
It was far worse back in the day, If I uploaded something it would have about 5 within an hour, some blatant copies and others just garish paint jobs.
There are nineteen frets on a guitar, 12th meets with the body, there are also no pegs- this type of guitar would have them sticking out the back of the head.
@YoDudeChase Right, I thought the numbers were arbitrary, but now I know they're M/s. Thanks, will have a tinker.
@rexrexThezion But my dials are in imperial. And it is truly the greatest system of measurement ever devised.
I suppose I can give it a go.
I have a few things in mind.
@VVMC Ah. I imagine that's either the engine, or the rigging wires. They tend to add a lot of lag, sorry about that.
@Tang0five Thank you.
Give it a top hat.

@VVMC It was completed about a month ago. Ive been very busy with the sailing ship- but that's almost done- ive just got to add some clutter to the deck like pumps, lifeboats and anchors and finish the Rigging and it will be done.
Overload, Fine Tuner and the custom paint mod are a must for building stuff.
Looks good.
Spiffing!
I love how you've done the gyroscopic effect of the rotary.
@VVMC Any particular variant? There are several. The main differences are that early ones have canards and latter ones did not.
I have to give you a disclaimer, My speed while building is oft compared to that of a sloth. And I'm currently working on two major builds, a morane saulnier parasol and a sailing ship.

@SgtRXMT Yes but it fires In what seems like a random order. The first gun to be placed in the builder isn't always the first to fire.
Nice.
@WalrusAircraft
Yes- and no.
I'm building a tea clipper for some boat building practice in order for me to make the Dreadnought. And hopefully some day HMS Victory as ive got some very detailed plans of it.

@BurkeEnterprise Do what you like, I'm very interested in this VTOL piston concept.
@Zanedavid No prob, I made one years ago. I remember it was very hard to get it to fly, but that was before the days of fuselage blocks and dead weight settings. Good luck!
