@weebabyseamus just a suggestion; wouldnt it be better if you actually judged each entry rather than relying on upvotes? The upvote system is biased as high ranking (high follower count) players have a larger fan base to upvote their builds than the lower ranking players... just a thought.
@ThomasRoderick nope, never seen that before, I just put things together and came up with it, might have had a bit of Blohm und Voss in the back of my head or mby a bit of Star Wars cloud car but nothing in particular.
@DeezDucks I'll have to look into that when I get back home, I don't tend to use rudder as sp mechanics seem to not like yaw and just gives me either a judder or roll. Thanks for the input though.
@ainanen yeah each circle in the roundel will have a ratio compared to the other, so a roundel like the HAF use has a 3:2:1 ratio so the largest is 3x the smallest. Different eras used different ratios. That website explains the RAF ones.

@Tang0five @grizzlitn @TheFantasticTyphoon thanks again, votes and comments appreciated as Always, these new bits are making the game more interesting.... if only I was interested in helis lol
@Brields95 its not for votes, just to show someone that with the right tools I can also make something very close to scale, the last one was completely by eyeball guestimation.
@Chancey21 now theres an idea, i might do something to do exactly that =) and it would have to be my third entry so it would break that rule as well lol
Lol a 19 part jet for a 150part proppellor general aviation challenge, I know ed said he didn't want loads of cessna 172s but this is stretching that a bit :)
trial and error, com just in front of col but not too close otherwise pitch is exagerated, if roll is slow move aileron wing further out or main wing closer in etc. all just basic trial and error stuff. it helps to have overload as you can change pitch of control surfaces to cancel out need for trim at cruising speed etc.
Stalinity posted seperately:Yay the results are in! Sorry it took so long, I had a major test, then a virus was detected on my phone. Alright, let's announce the 1-3 places ( the rest will be commented). 1st: RamboJutter. 2nd: asteroidbook345. 3rd: ghostHTX.
ive spent ages making sure mine is exactly 11ft, and then ive had a look at some of the entries and most are larger... damn, that extra foot took ages to shave off..
Ee lightning, designed for a purpose, built with just the bare essentials (fuel, who needs it) and at a time of massive uncertainty in the UK aircraft industry because of soon plonker and his visions of the future (Which still havn't come to pass). Intercepted u2 (Which as you probably know well wasn't an easy thing to do). It didn't have any confirmed kills but a qra was scrambled not long before that engineer fella in the nicked c130 was lost (conjecture may not be true but it wouldn't have taken much for the lightning to have 1 American c130 on its hit list).
Oh and in tag Germany they beat the f15 in climb competitions :)
@Mumpsy well I was going to make the wholenise section ejectable, but like the f111 but sp physics annoyed me so I reverted to a standard system:)

+2@Chancey21 good job it's ground to ground then :)
+2@Tang0five no doubt, I heard it was going to be vtol and carrier capable right up until the government changed their mind for the 3rd time....
+2@Megaplanesinc most real aircraft don't take kindly to being shot, hard to see that as a relevant critique really.
+2@X4JB it's not a rudder it's his tail :)

+2@Chancey21 @aplayer @BlackhattAircraft yep 100k now, thanks for the support.
+2@Sgtk here you go, camo tutorial is hereski
+2Missile racks are not in the same place from side to side, nice looking build though. I made one a long time ago :)
+2@BaconRoll thanks :) I take it that bacon roll approves of the build after I teased them and all.
+2@Tang0five @grizzlitn @TheFantasticTyphoon thanks again, votes and comments appreciated as Always, these new bits are making the game more interesting.... if only I was interested in helis lol
+2@TheFantasticTyphoon @CRJ900Pilot @BaconRoll it's posted :)
+2I try to avoid replicas now, too unimaginative for my liking
+2@Roswell thanks man, glad you like it, i love flying it around, must have got 50 carrier landings under my belt with this one =)
+2@ChickensCannotBeEaten good man, glad you like them, want a sneak peak at what im playing with at present?
+2DISCRIMINATION! but nvm as I've had enough of challenges of late :)
+2F104 starfighter :)
+2German farmers are cowering in their barns again...

+2@BaconRoll @DerekSP @Chancey21 Thanks, i still think i might re-build it, im sure i can do better now =)
+2@Chancey21 so it has to be a repost, single seat, jet, tag as fighter, not flyable, under 150 parts with no description. I can manage that ;)

+2@BoganBoganTheMan Sorry it wasnt my intention to advertise my builds, i just used them as examples but ill add the links now.
+2@randomusername yep! heaviest build i have made i think, not to mention its wing span.... thanks for your upvote.
+2Im going to build a 172 just because of tgis post =) (only joking), if i put 2 together can i call it a cessna 244?
+2Normally 7.5degrees for first panel then add 15degrees for each next, using circular ends. Now the panel thickness math I don't know
+2Nice build but ugly aircraft....
+2@RedRoosterII lol thanks, I do it quite often, have a look at some of my other builds as normally it's more complex than this :)
+2@Strikefighter04 baby shark do doo do
+2He was plagiarising other people's work.
+2@lllKenlll cool, are you going to do the air show version? You know the one where the wing falls off? ;)
+2@AdlerSteiner what's happening with this then? Or have I entered yet another competition that just falls by the way side...
+2@AdlerSteiner did the results of this get released?
+2@MEERKAT978 I wouldn't be surprised, think it was called a dominie when in RAF service.
+2When it rolls with no input from the user

+2@jamesPLANESii poor jammyplany2
+2you need text in the comment box. thats all. @Hyattorama
+2ive just tested it again, you need something in the comments box otherwise it fails.
