I think it may have been a variant possibly. There was several dogfighting challenges around that time. I do remember the DF. i think it did pretty well.
@Rawhide
I wanted to show you a old build of mine Manta Ray it was a collab build, at the time it was probably one of the largest usable craft in the game. Not sure now but I want to make a updated version with some of the new building techniques ive learned. If you want to collab on the remake let me know i think it would be fun, you did a fantastic job here.
I couldnt find a good way to implement this into the drone challenge using the assigned weapons, they were a little big for the air frame and I was trying to have no external weapons... but I was wondering if you may be able to give a "off the books" grade for the drone challenge if you have the time please. Thank You very much if you are able to do so and also thank you doing the challenge it was quite fun! There are no weapons attached to this build...just fyi...
very nice looking plane, large planes are really difficult to build let alone look great like this, well done! One thing i found is when the rear cargo area is lifting the landing gear area pops off.
Im a lil behind so i just tested out the sabre....i have to say i love the smoke you added when firing the guns, its little cool details like that that are really cool to me. the plane is also nice, flies really well...ill get started on this soon.
btw, i think its time you upload something...lol.....i have a theory that this is a alt account of a high ranking user. The way you interact with users is like that of plat users with knowledge...@Kaos
yep, this was a update of my original plane, funny thing is i didnt know much abt the bear when i built the original, i did however use the bear for this update. ty for the upvote btw ! @FGW2014
if you do your research nearly all gatlin type auto canons installed in planes from abt the 60s on do not eject brass out into the world.... the spent shells are ejected into a drum to reduce FOD risks. Only mentioning this because mainly planes are built on here...
I read the comments but didnt see a answer to the ? Yet. Is it possible to allow some forms of xml editing like scaling, weight and fuel? not allowing xml really takes the fun out of building.
One HUGE difference is Jacob didn't forget or make the users wait over a month to learn of the results. He did a great job, take note if you plan on doing another challenge.

@Jacobdaniel
THIS is the latest variant of that body style. I think it flies much better. nothing great but it seems to do fairly well in dogfights.
@Rawhide
cool, the "X" series was also used as early test beds for the thrust vectoring engines i uploaded last month.
@Rawhide
TY for the upvote! I built this for a UFO challenge that was later deleted but it was based off the Texas Cube ufo sighting.

Simply Awesome!!!! i probably cant use it on my ipad but its clear to see the amount of work that went into this...WELL DONE!!!
occassionally they will have a squad come in to work at the jrb, the sound they make is so awesome!
@AceOfSpade
