@Gummytree just download this model, then grab which ever one you want and drag it to the top left corner the screen to make it a subassembly. Then you will find it under parts in the subassemblies.
@sexylips35 Thank You. Working on parts for an aircraft design I came up with about 30 yrs ago (no kidding). I wanted to build it out of balsa, but it required a microgyro and a computer to fly (neither of which were micro back then).
I just hope my table doesn't lag out. It's kinda slow.
@DatGuy117 @saturn28 @Blue0Bull. I am planning on similar but more varied shapes, but with the standard blocks.
I think the fuel shapes might require more processing.
@sexylips35 yesterday, I was thinking how odd it was that my turbo prop sounded the same after I altered the propeller.
I used to work on E-2c's. Their propellers were 13' 6" across. That added a very deep note to the sound. It was a turbo prop so it sounded different from behind. More jet noise from that angle. Something to consider in fly-by view.
The mod should be user's choice.
The sound of a prop or jet engine is effected by many factors. The number of blades on a propeller or primary compressor plane. The length and shape of the blades. What drives the blades; jet or recip. engine, and its size, horse power, # of pistons.
There are more. I'll leave it there.
The mod should select separate factors, combine them, and simplify the output file for use.
At one point, two P-51 were joined in this fashion with the intention of developing a long range fighter escort. I think there was only one prototype. The pilots would take turns resting.
@sexylips35 I almost forgot the swivel points on the cable. The banner should 'fly' like a towed glider, not rolling with the tow a/c. CoM for the banner is near the bottom, just aft of center( I would think.)
XML time. Remove most of the the mass from everything. Give it a tiny set of wings and stabilizers and wheels(all low mass). Make a cable of fuselage sections and hinges(horizontal and vertical at each break). Zero mass the cable. Save as subassemblies.(for future use) Attach the cable near the top leading edge of the banner and the tail of a tow aircraft. You might just get the banner you are lookikg for. @sexylips35
@horizoneer ..be original. That is the best answer. Before WWII the best new ideas in aircraft were coming from the air racing circuit. New, original, pushing-the-limits ideas. After WWII, with so much excess military hardware to be had, new development in propeller driven aircraft stagnated. Most racers were variations of the P-51 Mustang. One Gentleman, I think in the ninties, tried to change that. If you want more info on that look up the Ponds Racer.
It has wheels and wings. I know there is buoyancy. I also know that it was not easy getting two modes in one craft. That was the upvote. But I was wondering if you had put any thought into how to make a flying amphibian craft?
I am posting a fuel balanced modification of your design. I hope you do not mind. I noticed all of the fuel is forward. As the fuel is used, the center of mass shifts aft, as the fuel weight is no longer in the front section. I have just added '_fuel balanced' to the end of the original name.
This thing handles like a trainer. Folks, you have to try it! Before flying this ship, I had no locations discovered. NOW ... Three new ones in fifteen minutes. My Kindle(2nd gen.) lags terribly. But not with this bird. THANK YOU !
The 'V' tail, which originally combined both pitch and yaw control movements into the two aft control surfaces. The intent was to increase range by reducing drag.
@Moronindustries Thank you. I did forget to put the logic in the description. My logic was 1.) to comform to a challenge (22 parts or less) 2.) Be different. Asymmetrical everything with the cockpit (and it's mass) fully to starboard. 3.) Make it fly, without compromising my initial design concept. - I failed. The v.stab. is mounted to starboard , not port. And is nearly verticle. BUT, it does fly.
@robloxweponco A little shaping on the pontoons and she floated nicely. Just read the description about water take-off.
Thank You for the vote.

@sexylips35 I may have told you what would work, but YOU made it real. So,you get creditfor making the original. : )

@septicfoot Reminds me of a flying PopTart with icing and sprinkles.
@septicfoot @Benjaminair Sooo not normal. Yeah!
Looks good.
Any comments suggestions? I'd love to hear of any common iOS needs.
Looks like a whatsit.
@sexylips35 Yeah! Luigi!
@Mansminus. Good job! Never let them make you be normal. Always use your creativity.
I can see this as being a real design.
A mobile weapons depot. ; )

That was my thinking. Ikept seeing requests for help from the iOS group.
Thank You @saturn28
@sexylips35 Amazing flyer. Great job!

I made a demonstrator and wrote an explaination of how air-breaks can be used to counter the aileron induced flat spin,
without using v.stab's. HERE
@ThePrototype your engine nacelles look like bombs. Can they be dropped?
@horizoneer Mr Ponds wanted to save the few remaining P-51's.
Correction: (That is Mr Pond [no 's'], but it is the Ponds Racer [with an 's'])

@horizoneer As I commented below,.. why be normal?
Great design!
For 26 parts, THAT's AMAZING!

Can ya make it float?? An all around t triple-threat?

Thank you for clarifying that matter @Maxwell1 . Ms Fisher would not have gone without the very best.
This was pre-Star Wars @AudioDud3
I was just thinking of UFO two days ago. I remembered the ufo's spinning but the interceptors didn't come to mind. Thank you for this submission.
This reminds me of the Beegee.
