  • Need tips and advice 7.3 years ago

    IMO you could make the fuselage a little smaller. Vertical & Horizontal stabilizer are a bit too big if you ask me. You could also sweep back the horizontal stabilizers.

    @Meep261 And thank you for yours :)

  • DreamAir Sunbeam M 100 V1.2 7.5 years ago

    Ever thought of making it into a seaplane?

  • F-20C Dilo 7.5 years ago

    @F104Deathtrap I recall it to help with airflow around the wing or something similar to that. A quick search of Wikipedia should reveal the answer.

  • F-20D Dilo 7.5 years ago

    @Athaya Thanks! But that's the point. Everyone nowadays is using fuselages so I thought I would try something different.

  • VTOL Assistance Requested 7.5 years ago

    Update: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/nmvf91/F-20F-N-Dilo
    The above is the modified model that can actually fly straight. Handling issues persist and the aircraft still cannot transition from normal flight to VTOL.

  • VTOL Assistance Requested 7.5 years ago

    @F104Deathtrap In flight the plane requires a rather substantial amount of upwards pitch to keep in level flight. However, I cannot put the engine any lower as it would be beneath the actual fuselage by then.
    Update: I have tried to increase the mass of the rear of the aircraft to some avail but this makes VTOL incredibly awkward.

  • VTOL Assistance Requested 7.5 years ago

    @Alienbeef0421 That is quite literally impossible as the engine is not symmetrical.
    @ValtsuAircraftIndustries Preferably not.

  • F-20C Dilo 7.5 years ago

    @F104Deathtrap Thank you for the compliment on the stabilators. However, I do believe it somewhat hampers flight performance as the actual stabilators are not actually "connected" to the aircraft. I understand that fuselage nose cones and blocks can be used to store fuel, adjust their buoyancy and also introduce dead weight for potential stability of the aircraft. But since you rarely see any "blocky planes" anymore, I want to be that special guy, at least for a while until I nail the skills of building a plane out of fuselage blocks. Technically the plane has a ridiculous amount of power, partly because I use a part editor capable of adjusting the weight of every block on that plane. Also thank you for the suggestions. What do you think about the design of the wings themselves? Obviously it is quite similar to the F/A-18.

  • When Elevons Just Give Up 7.6 years ago

    @ShatSlanger Would be nice if there was a workaround because I need 3 on each other. Roll, pitch and airbrake control.

  • Fokker D.XXIX 7.6 years ago

    @DestinyAviation Yes I do

  • Fokker D.XXIX 7.6 years ago

    @DestinyAviation Could I contact you privately? Wouldn't want any prying eyes :) Feel a bit like Lockheed Martin when they were designing the YF-22

  • Fokker D.XXIX 7.6 years ago

    @DestinyAviation you got a real knack for designing planes that's for sure. I was hoping you could help me with a plane I'm working on. Let's just say said plane has quite a few handling problems XD

  • Messerschmitt P.1123 J-1 7.7 years ago

    @DestinyAviation but I think we can both agree that the F-20 has the better flight model

  • Messerschmitt P.1123 J-1 7.7 years ago

    @DestinyAviation Also why the F-17 and not the F-20 (one I spent an hour making and the other I spent multiple days working on)

  • Messerschmitt P.1123 J-1 7.7 years ago

    @DestinyAviation could I take the model and modify it? The base looks good for an Me 410

  • Arado Ar-234 B-2a ''Bodenangriff'' 7.7 years ago

    Absolute thrill to fly!

  • mig 17 7.7 years ago

    Since when did the Mig-17 receive missiles?

  • F-22 Vs 150 P-51 mustangs 7.7 years ago

    @iiRazor F-22s are flown by the elite of the elite in the USAF.

  • Simple ME163B 7.8 years ago

    Power to weight ratio is too small compared to the actual Me 163.

  • F-19B(A) Thundercrash 7.8 years ago

    @Dstroyer101 I'm trying to force myself to stick to blocks only as a sort of challenge. Might get into fuselages in a later date. And yes I have considered larger engines.

  • Some blocks to add 8.1 years ago

    And how about some ejectable reserve fuel tanks
