@SirDankalot - Thank you. It comes down to xml modding to bring the weight down. See my comments below to know how to make this happen on your own creations. Let me know if you have further questions.
@TheLatentImage - In another time, an age forgotten to mortals is a vestige of an alternate reality only known to the eternal self. Into this space we fall and wake up to a world of airships and steam, machines wrought in brass and iron, managed by mustached men with sweaty brow and hard hands. Yea we sail tonight on airships of the crown and empire, ready to make battle in once sovereign sky. - Just a little something for you Latent since you are a man of words.
@Cedy117 - It is really simple actually. You need to start something normal sized, then add enormous wings (structural of course). Add control surfaces to the wings and scale the weight down. Use my regular expression trick (see recent post) to do this quickly. Once you have the flight characteristics figured out, and your weight down, then scale down your giant wings down 90% or so. This way you can still see them, but physically they work like your giant versions. You then scale your whole ship up to the size you want (scale weight down again and test). If everything works as you like, further scale the wings down to 0.001 and you're done.
@AdrianFlyingAce - I use my 3 1/2 year old iPhone for reference. If I can download and fly on this old thing, then I assume it works fine for mostly everyone. I'm curious, what device are you using? Also, I'm told the iPhone 7 can run even my super sized airship, but that device is reportedly faster than a 2013 MacBook Pro.
I know you've all seen a lot of these from me, but this one gave Jr. and me the most fun to play with. It really is wonderful if your computer is up to the task.
The bigger version is very cool. Has a top speed of 32 mph, is rock solid steady, and I'm able to fly a Gotha bomber off and land on it again. It is a blast to play with. @nfsplatinum
I'm running an IPhone 5S. I just took off, shot my ship and landed the airplane. Maybe check your settings. Walrus Jr. Flew it on a lower power Android without issues. BTW, if you shoot the guns with the plane attached, the plane will shoot the airship. Not sure if that is the root of your problem. @EliteIndustries1

I look forward to seeing that. @EliteIndustries1
Wonderful! thanks for the comments. @Sparrow007 @BogdanX

It would be hard because of the size. I have a smaller mobile version in my inventory. @TimeTraveler
+1Thanks. I try hard to keep part count down. @Unreliablewaffle365
You should try making something like this @EliteIndustries1
There are no gyros. See my response below to @Cedy117 for the steps on how I built it. @EliteIndustries1

Yeah, that's really odd. I found the same true for me. @AdrianFlyingAce
Yes, I'll try one. 😀@CortwadeAirlines
@Treadmill103 @Flightsonic @Ctracerx2 @MrSilverWolf @EternalDarkness @BaconEggs - Thanks gentlemen.
That actually looks like a fun build. You're a Dr. Who fan?@septicfoot
Thanks once again @jamesPLANESii
Very kind of you. Thank you. @Liquidfox
Thanks @ShatSlanger you make some nice planes yourself. I'm following you now.
@Cedy117 @RealQcan - thanks guys. Sr. Here. I get a kick out of these slow moving ships.

@saturn28 - Thanks!
He never left! @MAHADI
@KDS - Doesn't that just change one part at a time? This changes the attributes for thousands of parts (if you have that many) at one time.
Tjhanjs @JayJoeCc
@Clawsome @ProKillaV12 - thanks guys, and yeah... those biplanes can take a beating.
A a car guy, I approve this creation.
Brilliant detail. Indeed to much, but that is what I love about this design!
I did make a bigger one, but if you are on mobile you might not be able to use it. Look on my profile to see it. @F458S
@Insertname @MrDoolittle - iPhone 7 is more powerful than my 2013 MacBook Pro. Truly an amazing device!
@Insertname - Oh, that's good news. You must have a good iOS device.
@saturn28 @TheOwlAce @SimpleFlow - Thanks very much!
I know you've all seen a lot of these from me, but this one gave Jr. and me the most fun to play with. It really is wonderful if your computer is up to the task.
@Bladeguy57 @TheOwlAce - Thanks guys.
Nice little jet. Good work!
@Fishbowl1121 Thanks, was all Sr. build
@TheLatentImage @destroyerP - thanks guys!
That's a great use of the plane. You can attack the ships the same way. Just stay out of range with the airship. @Clawsome
The bigger version is very cool. Has a top speed of 32 mph, is rock solid steady, and I'm able to fly a Gotha bomber off and land on it again. It is a blast to play with. @nfsplatinum
Gotta catch them all. @InternationalAircraftCompany
@nfsplatinum @ColonelDevlin @Himynameiswalrus - thanks guys. I have a 3x larger version with two fighters and a Gotha bomber on it I might release.
Thanks, the one I play with is 3x larger and it flys nicer. It's too big for mobile, so this one is smaller. @rubbishcraft
Nice version, good use of color.
@ShatSlanger - Thanks for trying it out!

Since you're the first to comment, it's dedicated to you. Enjoy! @AudioDud3
Agreed... Terrible idea to build a battleship on a blimp, but cool as heck. @XxcreedexX
@nfsplatinum - A few weeks in the evenings I guess. Maybe 8 hours.
@Sparrow007 @BaconAircraft @Cedy117 - Thanks guys for the kind words.
Thanks very much for the kind words @Mumpsy
@picy Detached cockpit version... Try this if you are on mobile
@picy - I'm told that if you request desktop mode you can download.
@saturn28 @picy - Thanks! Lots of parts, but flys well on my ROG laptop. I'm guessing an iPhone 6 - 7 would handle it.
