Very sharp looking plane. But its too nose heavy and this make the elevator authority very sloppy. Helpful hint if you didn't know, its possible to put retractable gear on the engines by place one and mirroring it to the opposite side. Then mirror the opposite back again.
This really isn't how a swashplate works. I've built one that worked before the last update. The idea is to apply pitch to individual rotor blades rather than pitch the entire rotorhead as you have done here. Youtube has some good visual demonstrations on swashplates.
Very interesting solution! I have been work on the problem of helicopter control too, but my most realistic designs have been broken in the beta update. Here is one of them if you are interested.

A very nice effort, its not to often that I see a mobile friendly plane capable of advanced flight maneuvers. Try to improve controllability, I found myself stalling with not way to get it flying again.
@qwert13357 hey mine looks different from that game. Different enough I think. Plus couldn't you argue that half of the site consists of various movie and aerospace imagery and trademarks. I mean look at all the star wars and star trek for example.
I don't think its a bug. My C2's had issues like this and its a simple fix. Just use structural wings as much as possible. The other wing type is very weak.
Kinda hard to improve on perfection.
I'm not one to favorite models but this one I did. She is beautiful!
Very graceful.
Put doors on the front and this would be a mobile hanger at sea.
I like that it's small, it is a simple plane. Looks very good too.
Nice. Interesting idea with the camera pod.

Excellent.
@kikasshes @JacobHardy64 @jheffernan @Authros @FlOu Thanks guys.

@LordofLego make sure you move the vtol slidder up not and throttle to 100%
Awesome!
@JacobHardy64 thanks! lol
Here's my entry! I hope it's not to late. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/m5Hwxv/Sly-C23
We need more simple planes like this! Very fun, love the style.
@Hypnoticchicken lol wow! People really like this thing.
@Hypnoticchicken sure
Colorful.
Superb!
Doesn't work.
Neat! I like it.
You've made great strides with this, although tricky, it was fun to fly.
Yes, yes, thank-you! We need more planes like this.
Can I enter this plane? https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/PLCxTc/Sly-C27-Landing-gear-design
Nice Simple Plane. Mobile friendly too.
A very nice effort, its not to often that I see a mobile friendly plane capable of advanced flight maneuvers. Try to improve controllability, I found myself stalling with not way to get it flying again.
I'm in!
It is done sir.
A very nice plane. Very nice. I wish you luck in the contest.
@rexinn lol I saw your video. Looks like you had some trouble trying to fly. Thanks for the showcase.
How about the Sly HA100b or Sly C24? Probably some of my favorite builds.
Love this show, if only I could run this model.
@TheDocHoliday my first plane.
Impressive, looks great too.
Really cool boat.
Nice little plane. Could be improved a bit. But still very cool.
@Lego2250 try setting your physics to high in the settings.
Very stable, but your yaw is reversed.
If you were interested.

@Zing2000 maybe he has it retracted.
@Southwest this is actually submitted to intencers contest. I don't know if that matters to you lol. I'll can still make one for your.
Beautiful.
Perfect tilt wing.
@goodboygoodplane @Intencer no I don't, like I said they are just wings from the menu. Mirroring doesn't really work out to well for helicopters.
@qwert13357 hey mine looks different from that game. Different enough I think. Plus couldn't you argue that half of the site consists of various movie and aerospace imagery and trademarks. I mean look at all the star wars and star trek for example.
@Intencer no they are all just standard wings from the menu. I don't usually edit them. And I set them to symmetrical instead of semi or flat bottom.
@Intencer what do you mean the angle of attack? 30 degrees instead of 15?
I don't think its a bug. My C2's had issues like this and its a simple fix. Just use structural wings as much as possible. The other wing type is very weak.
