@Christiant2 You can add so many more parts since this plane is made out of only 82 parts. You can of course add many more details if you want. There are many planes made out of 1500 to 3000 parts on this website. You will see. I have to stick with a low part count since I do not have much time to spend on one project. I work full-time.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover, I see. I am not sure if the in-game version of the plane could do that. In the real-world scenario, there are a lot of factors to consider - like wind resistance, gravity, and acceleration of both the bullet and the plane. so it is very hard to replicate in the game. But surely, you could calculate that in some better physics programs
The gun is cool, and the images are so cool as well. The flowers in the foreground bring the contrast between the wild nature of fire and battles. Love the story as well.
On Sep 21, 1956 Grumman test pilot Tom Attridge shot himself down in a graphic demonstration of two objects occupying the wrong place at the same time—one being a Grumman F11F-1 Tiger [138260], the other a gaggle of its own bullets..
It happened on the second run of test-firing four 20mm cannon at Mach 1.0 speeds. At 20,000' Attridge entered a shallow dive of 20°, accelerating in afterburner, and at 13,000' pulled the trigger for a four-second burst, then another to empty the belts. During the firing run the F11F continued its descent, and upon arriving at 7,000', the armor-glass windshield was struck, but not penetrated, by an object..
Attridge throttled back to slow down and prevent cave-in of the windshield, flying back to Grumman's Long Island field at 230 mph. He radioed that a gash in the outboard side of the right engine's intake lip was the only apparent sign of damage other than for the glass, but that 78 percent was maximum available power without engine roughness occurring..
Two miles from base, at 1,200' with flaps and wheels down, it became evident from the sink rate that the runway could not be gained on 78 percent power. Attridge applied power and said "the engine sounded like it was tearing up." It then lost power completely. He pulled up the gear and settled into trees less than a mile short of the runway, traveling 300 feet and losing a right wing and stabilizer in the process. Fire broke out, but, despite injuries, Attridge managed to exit the plane and get away safely, to be picked up by Grumman's rescue helicopter.
Examination of the F11F established there were three hits—in the windshield, the right engine intake, and the nose cone. The engine's inlet guide vanes were struck, and a battered 20mm projectile was found in the first compressor stage..
How did this happen? The combination of conditions reponsible for the event was (1) the decay in projectile velocity and trajectory drop; (2) the approximate 0.5-G descent of the F11F, due in part to its nose pitching down from firing low-mounted guns; (3) alignment of the boresight line of 0° to the line of flight. With that 0.5-G dive, Attridge had flown below the trajectory of his bullets and, 11 seconds later, flew through them as their flight paths met.
@windshifter1 thank you buddy
@Christiant2 I am building the F89, now basic shape is done. It can fly now. I am start adding the details
Which state are you from. I live in New York City
@TheRealGoober I see. It’s okay
@Christiant2 will do
@Christiant2 thanks.
+1@Christiant2 do you mean Northrop F-89 Scorpion?
nice, I forget the link to create those logo (such as the horse) into text. do you know that mod link?
@TheRealGoober The is very kind of you. I add the link to your page by the way.
+1@TheRealGoober Look, updated.
+1@TheRealGoober still writing the content
+1@TheRealGoober I am writing a thank you note for your smoke device -
+1@TheRealGoober I add the smoke trail - ready to fly this time. Thank you by the way
+1@Superliner350 @Marulk Lol, thank you guys, you guys are so fast
+3@crazyplaness wow. Cool.
@crazyplaness ah, thank you for letting me know. How did you get the green label?
@Mustang51 nice. I used to build 1/72 and 1/48 model kits
+1@CaptainBrayden thanks!
@CaptainBrayden interesting.
@CaptainBrayden your images look great, did you edit them?
beautiful work, hello form New York!
+2nice with the livery
great build my friend
+1@CaptainBrayden Thanks for the photos, posted now
@CaptainBrayden thank you so much, I will post them
@CaptainBrayden thank you so much
Thanks. This is a great idea.
@B25mitchel @GuardianAerospace Guys, tanks, and yes, this is the plane once it shot down itself
+1@Boeing727200F Thanks,, but this is not a video, you can download straight away. Why "T" ???
@Berulacraft thanks
nice
+2@Christiant2 I see, you mean you want more weapons on the plane?
+1@Christiant2 by the way, your link "this" was not working, so i don't know which plane you are showing to me

@TheUltimatePlaneLover You are right - and it has to be four canons instead of 2. Thanks.
@dekanii yes. It happened. Find it on YouTube.
+1@TTL No. Just under 2.7 years as of Nov/2024
+1@Christiant2 All yours! rebuild it, break it make it again. re paint it. post it. I am so glad to know that.
+1Thanks for the super fast upvotes.
+1Try this MiG-29 in dogfight
well-detailed build. sadly, there is very much undervoted.
Nine years with SP... wow, respect the love with SP
awesome, I love to see the experimental projects.
nice
so beautiful, I love it
