Not bad, but if you want it to be appreciated, you'll need to make more improvements than just adding adjustable trim. Try fleshing out the details a bit, like the wing shape, rigging wires, etc. I'd also recommend going for a more "fun" flight model.
Surprisingly good for a new player. Only thing is, half the right wing falls off when you spawn in the sandbox. I'd recommend adding some color, fixing the wing, and re-uploading this.
Thanks, @Mumpsy. Yeah, imagine a game where we could build our own enemy bases out of components like AA guns, missile batteries, ships, submarines, air bases, factories/power plants, etc., and share them using XML files. It wouldn't be much work for the developers, and would add tremendous value and replayability to the game.
@Treadmill103 It's a sad day when we're reduced to bombing palm trees... this game desperately needs more destructible targets that blow up spectacularly.
@Diloph If you're asking how they exploded, that's the bombs hitting them. The GIF shows how this aircraft can hit a bunch of targets, and leave others unharmed, in one pass.
@TrislandianAlliance Well, from the rear it's like a brick wall, and completely unaerodynamic as well. It's not meant to be a realistic aircraft, just an experiment with variable geometry and a tribute to the B-2 and F-117.
@Planeboi49620 Well, it looks a little basic, and the flight handling needs work as well. But I like how you're using fuselage blocks to give some shape to the wings and vertical stabilizers. Keep at it, and if you need help, feel free to ask.
@SupremeDorian Well, you can "tell me off" (ooh, that's nice) as much as you like. Given your clear bias, nothing you say has any value to me whatsoever.
@SupremeDorian Astonishing misinterpretation on your part. I didn't "tell him to compliment me" -- I said say something like this. If you aren't aware, these are basic rules of polite behaviour. And if you're going to try to convince me that this isn't a nice build or flies really well, good luck with that :)
Thanks, @Mandanbb8099. Considering it already goes up to 2500 mph, what would you want a hyperdrive for? The SP map isn't big enough for really high speeds to be useful.
@Hedero Considering how easy it would be to add more shell models (download royalty-free model, import it into the game assets, add it to the list of options) I don't see why it couldn't be done in a few hours. The same goes for weapon sounds, explosions, etc.
@asteroidbook345 There is only one kind of airplane that can fly well while having a bunch of rotators, and that's a light one. The wobbliness only starts to happen when the mass of the build is large.
As for the people making excuses, "the easiest person to fool is yourself."
@Hedero Things that would be very simple to add would be more options for the shape of the shell (bombs, railgun projectiles), the explosions (regular, incendiary, nuclear), and the cannon firing sound, which at the moment sounds like someone whacking a plank of wood against another. With any luck, a future update will add those things.
What would be even better is if you could create a subassembly and define that as the thing launched by the cannon. So you could have all kinds of custom-designed artillery shells, conventional bombs, nuclear bombs, and so on.

@Planeboi49620 In real life, there are guided munitions...
Thanks, @AerialFighterSnakes
Thanks, @Treadmill103. I love the flight handling of this one.
@Thefuriouschicken I've uploaded parts kits and subassemblies in the past, and the response hasn't been encouraging.
@Thefuriouschicken That's the aircraft used in this video. Never got around to posting it, that's all.

+1@Planeboi49620 Ok?
@Planeboi49620 Very impressive.
@Planeboi49620 A walker with a 400mm artillery piece? This I have to see.
@Planeboi49620 That's pretty good, but surely you didn't use the walking function of the walker to sink the ship...?
@Planeboi49620 No, why?

+2Glad you think so, @Planeboi49620

+2@Diloph Dude, I have no idea where you're coming from. What airplane challenges, tanks, and ships are you talking about?
@Diloph Something tells me you haven't watched my videos...
@Diloph ?

@Nuclearbomber36 Yes, but are you stealthy?
@aghasttable267 Well, there's an actual video of it working, and it has worked for many people, so...
@Jwpdaviesjr Every part in it has partCollisionResponse set to None.
@Planeboi49620 Well, it looks a little basic, and the flight handling needs work as well. But I like how you're using fuselage blocks to give some shape to the wings and vertical stabilizers. Keep at it, and if you need help, feel free to ask.
Thanks, @SpiritusRaptor
Thanks, @SovietBun
@AerialFighterSnakes Wait until you see video of my Stealth Bomber taking out all seven ships in one pass...
@AerialFighterSnakes Yeah, physics is fun, isn't it?
+1@AerialFighterSnakes Yes, or move ships off course, or destroy bridges, by ramming them.
@Mandanbb8099 If you set partCollisionResponse="None" on all parts in your build, it becomes invulnerable to collisions and resistant to missiles.
And the map is infinite, it just doesn't have any destinations further out -- it's just a limitless expanse of ocean.
+1@SupremeDorian Have a nice life :)
@SupremeDorian Well, you can "tell me off" (ooh, that's nice) as much as you like. Given your clear bias, nothing you say has any value to me whatsoever.

Was that nice enough?
@Thefuriouschicken Er, what?
Thanks, @Mandanbb8099. Considering it already goes up to 2500 mph, what would you want a hyperdrive for? The SP map isn't big enough for really high speeds to be useful.
+1Thanks, @CptJacobson
@SupremeDorian Excuse me? What did I say or do that wasn't nice?
@Kiduppity How about adding something like "Hi! Nice build! Flies really well!" before your question?
@CRJ900Pilot Hmm, maybe.
@CRJ900Pilot But of course :)
Thanks, @Hedero.
Cool build, but if that's your actual signature, it's not a good idea to have it floating around the internet.
Thanks, @Skov07
@WildWiryClam It uses jet engines as thrusters to apply the pitch and yaw forces, like one of my flight modules.
