there was a video of theirs that went viral because their rocket seemed to hit “the dome”. they came out to address the issue and explained what really happened. they use some sort of counter weight that causes that abrupt stop like it hits a invisible wall. nasa would never do that they just leave the speculation alone like the astronauts all wearing a shoulder harness under their clothes when theyre doing the live feeds LOL @JohnnyBoythePilot
NASA is well known for being the black hole of projects. i have a theory that some of these projects over the years are actually just “fronts” for other budgeting purposes. What other defense type contractors could continue getting contracts that go way over budget with little results? with all the $ nasa has been given we dont even have the best telescopes. i recently read that the vatican actually has the most advanced telescope on the planet called “lucifer”. Nasa is still living off the apollo missions fame in my opinion
i read that the LWFP , the program that GD won with their F16 was a politcal choice. everything ive read said the YF17 performed better. it eventually became the F18 anyways @JohnnyBoythePilot
the 23 was unable to complete the weapons testing that the program required. theres a lot more reasons than just making a choice they actually have to pass certain tests or face elimination. boeing tried to beat lockheed for the jsf program, boeing hadnt made a fighter in over 60 years and they didnt have the knowledge that lockheed had in the industry and it showed with all of their poor decisions with everything from coatings, wings to engine choices. theres a great documentary on youtube called the battle of x planes that showcases this in detail. i personally think the 23 wouldve been a better choice but they werent able to showcase a complete aircraft, same with the x-32, boeing made a lot of “promised” changes to the plane that they couldnt showcase during testing @ForeverPie
Awesome! I havent yet migrated to PC so i cant do this race but I’ll be cheering for you again! And YES im still going to download this so i can learn from your builds like always :-D
COLOR!!!! Lol just kidding, very cool, hopefully my ipad can handle the count. EDIT Handles exceptionally well and is easy to control, the cleavers were a nice touch i think. Great job Sled!
NP Johnny, TY for the kind words, after this challenge i think im going to begin the big project. ive been doing some research and am excited to get going.
TY Sled, Ive been tinkering with your method of curves lately and have realized it makes a huge difference. Thanks again for sharing your ideas @SledDriver
FG this is awesome! as usual you build something really cool and unique. It flies very well, super stable and the beacon idea is ingenious. Great Job!!! I'll be dissecting this soon ;-)
@FGW2014
YW & TY! Its fun perusing your builds, i cant believe i missed so many! I always look to your builds for inspiration and to find ways to improve. @BogdanX
YW, i think thats going to be a cool build. I dont know if you ever played the final fantasy series but a airship like in FF3 would be cool i think.
@FGW2014
I could never do that FG! :-D Ok, remove the custom missiles and it fixes the problem. My guess is the small fins on the missiles were causing it because they were made using wings. Very very cool plane i love the front, prob the best ive seen on here! @FGW2014
Oh i think i know what you are talking about. When you mirror the "ROLL" rotator on the opposite side may need to be inverted. Same goes for the "YAW" rotator. If you need any help let me know and ill be glad to assist you.
@paolops
Flies amazing! its handling is really crisp and very responsive, i also like the design its very unique! One thing i would suggest if you choose to run a single engine is to deactivate the “roll” rotator. with only one engine it will pitch also when rolling. very cool plane !@paolops
awesome! ill test it out shortly....give you a full report :-D
@FGW2014
this thing is really quite cool!
Ahhhhh! so the picture issues are with imgur? i just kinda noticed my pics werent showing up on some of my builds.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! im actually suprised you are just turning 18 you always seemed old like me LOL !
+1TY buddy! sorry i havent been on much lately, i need to get caught up on my favorite weapon builder @EliteArsenals24
tell you what, ill look at that 747 phantom test plane and build something new for you. is there a time frame for needing this ? @JohnnyBoythePilot
if you prefer the gs-1 type of plane i can update it also. it was a early build of mine and could use some modifying.@JohnnyBoythePilot

awesome!! i really like your “non airplane” builds, very cool.
u mind if i try? i had the same issue on my edge plane. @FGW2014

Awesome as always brutha! i havent been on much lately so ill check your profile to see if i missed anything.

Beautiful! Great Job as always SR
