@hypnotoad a lot of my recent planes - the ones where I've put design first - I've really struggled to get them to fly nice / be balanced. Well you saw that the plane before this one I never managed to truly balance it - so I cheated and added manual TRIM :-). This one however has been one of my easier builds. It all just seemed to fall into place. So I can't give you any tips I'm afraid - it's a dark art!
@Mkenz your flight sounded like A LOT of mine :-) and I'm not entirely sure how it flies :-D - I was surprised how well it flew from early on when I was making it. Usually I battle at the end to get it flyable - but the whole big wing thing seems to help.
@hypnotoad no pink? Look closer. I snuck a tiny amount in :-) I would be so honoured to do a paint job for you - but I do like your schemes. And I do owe this to you - the main wings I learnt from you so thanks so much.
@Austinowen Ho Lee sh##! Took a few times to get it to work. You need the landing gear retracted as well I think. As the awesome guy who realised this - you get a 5 star rating - thanks!
@hypnotoad yeah took me so so long to work out the fuel tank thing. Wonder why ? And yes authros is next level. Probs doesn't even bother with the simple planes app - just writes it all in XML :-)
@hypnotoad. You really are a sweetheart you know that. Means a lot when you like my designs. Defo some mastering left to go. I think I've got to do some more advanced XML editing. Have you ever torn apart authros' designs? He has rotators not even connected to the parts they move. XML for ya.
Its not big enough :-D no need for the 1 star haters. It actually flies reasonably well once you invert the controls. Its balanced and predictable. Great effort.
@Mkenz well as long as @hypnotoad doesn't sue us for copyright- you should be fine to crack on mate :-D

Came to give you your 5 stars - but this is actually worth 5 regardless. Love it
@PK @Joffahsanno so glad you guys like - thanks
@hypnotoad - I know its not spikey enough to be a true toad - so think of it as a child friendly toad? :-)
@Mkenz lol thanks. Either that or ahappytoad

Now all we need is the flying toast and sausages ....
Really really cool. Doesn't fly that well. Dont even care - its so pretty. Could you build one with 2 spirals side by side - counter-rotating?
@Mkenz ooh and is the yaw any better?
@Mkenz thanks so much. Yeah a few of my planes would probably snap its pilots necks if they where real ...... Thanks so so much for the rating.
Number of parts:124. Number of those that are wing sections : 122. :-)
Pretty much insane. NICE
@TheDerpyDude I like it! Sorry for being a Meany with the stars.
Great looks!
Flies well. Looks good
@hypnotoad yeah took me so so long to work out the fuel tank thing. Wonder why ? And yes authros is next level. Probs doesn't even bother with the simple planes app - just writes it all in XML :-)
@geekr let me know!
Still good - really good for stunts its so sensitive.
Took you over 7000 points :-)
Looks good. Flies good
Hot dam this is tricky to fly. As long as you have a light touch your OK. Looks good
Very pretty

Looks like a successful experiment. Took a few goes to not crash - but very nice after that.
You win SimplePlanes. Epic
Looks good!
Nicely done
Like it!
@mkenz @zfm99. Look! Yaw!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! So impressed - really imaginative. Keep tagging me!
Flies really well - pitch is a bit shakey though. Good plane.
Pitch is insanely nice! Defo some hypnotoad cues going on - really pretty. Nice work
5 stars for looks - very nice wing work. Bit sluggish to fly albeit easy and predictable. Nice work!
Right up my street! Love making planes with moving sections. More please!
You win simpleplanes! NICE work on the helmet. Really nice touch
16 ratings and 6 downloads? Pretty much shows how awesome this thing looks! Just amazing.
Made very tiny tweeks to make it fly a bit smoother. Hope you like!
Very impressed. Holds together at speed - flies pretty good and looks great.
5. Even though its annoyingly nose heavy - it does fly well and looks original. Good stuff
Its not big enough :-D no need for the 1 star haters. It actually flies reasonably well once you invert the controls. Its balanced and predictable. Great effort.
Properly pretty plane. The attention to detail - like the tiny bumps on the front. Very nice to fly also. Favourite plane for a while
Nice. Defo my style of plane
Pitch is horrible. Looks good though
Flies well
5 starts for looks alone. Flies very predictability and solid.
Pretty cool. Flies well.
Needs more wings lol. Blown away with this truly original plane.
