Would give 4.5 stars if I could - i did manage to break it pulling up from a nose dive. Also with the imbalance thing - just mirror the whole thing - sorts that right out. Other than that - pretty as usual and flies better than your last. Keep up the good work!
4 because it looks nice. Very sluggish on controls however. As a super quick fix - why not tie in the rear VTOL thrusters with the pitch control? All the best
I make a lot of super fast planes - to keep it together you need to limit the amount of normal wings you use and use as much structural as poss. Also a little cheat - if you attach your wings with detachers - they Dont fall off :-).
@hypnotoad we have both been feeding off each other which is good! And 5 star ratings for 5 star planes. I have to ask how you churn planes out so fast? Takes me days for 1 plane!
@hypnotoad I've already come up with a much more manouvreable version of this - now the rear thrusters pitch - and I got rid of the only 2 control surfaces - so on paper it has none :-). I'm struggling with the yaw if you can help. What ever I do - it only makes the craft roll not yaw. Have any tips?
@hypnotoad great minds and all that..... Looks like that's the end of my plane being downloaded lol. I'm on android and I think you are to looking at some of your planes. You can sign up here (very easy)http://www.reddit.com/r/SimplePlanes/comments/2qxlc3/new_android_beta_need_some_testers/
@hypnotoad the balancing was "interesting". Your usual setup - COM in middle and COL a little behind didn't work on this. I had to put the COL much further back than I usually would just to get the dam thing to fly. Let me know anyways :-)
@hypnotoad - thanks for the enthusiasm! Please try to download later - I'd love you to try it. It doesn't fly as well as some of yours - but considering the very odd layout I've gone for - it flies well. Thanks for the tip on the stab - I'll defo amend that. And I'm flattered you think it looks nice - yours are the benchmark I work to / try my hardest to better :-)
@Mkenz - thanks my resident spell checker! Weirdly it won't let me get rid of it when I edit - no matter what I try. Did you fly it? Love to know what you think if so
@hypnotoad been super busy - but I am working on 2 planes - one shows a lot of promise and I think I've come up with a fairly.original control surface concept. Stay tuned!
Flies well! Actually a joy to fly a prop plane for once. I feel bad but I have to knock a star - pitch could be a little better and it is bare bones. Other than that it is a very fun little thing

@Kevin thanks for the tip!
@hypnotoad I personally Dont care too much about yaw - but zfm moans if you Dont put it in :-). And it handles very well Dont worry :-)
@hypnotoad I'm in the same boat with the 2 kids .... You get my message on my plane?
Good job
Didn't want to give it a bad rating without checking first. I can't get it to fly - at all. Has an update upset this plane?

Please make it flyable!
Overlayed
You have to tell me. How have you overplayed the nose cone sections at the front - and got it to accept that?
Very pretty

This isn't my "mirage" any more :-) very nice work
Very cool - and you've actually changed a lot - which most people Dont!

A looker as usual. Looks like a few of your planes mashed together :-)
@hypnotoad imchuffed ! Probably your error reports that bought him here lol so thanks
@Stingray that's a shame! Id forgotten I was in the beta program - has scuppered this plane a bit!

@Mkenz god dammit man!
@Mkenz on my phone e it runs fine on low
@hypnotoad I know - the Skype thing never really worked out lol
@hypnotoad I know - the Skype thing never really worked out lol
Cannot get this thing to take off?
@hypnotoad I had to use the modded tank :-) absolutely no other practical way to balance a design like this.
@hypnotoad look at its predecessor - like your plane I modded - I do go to town lol :-)
very very cool. You deserve more 5 stars than you have

Pretty piece of engineering. Consider yourself followed!
@Mkenz I think you corrected me on something before?

@zfm99 honest thoughts?
@hypnotoad thanks for delving into the back catalogue!
Well nice colour......
@hypnotoad been super busy - but I am working on 2 planes - one shows a lot of promise and I think I've come up with a fairly.original control surface concept. Stay tuned!
Brilliant. That is all :-) your best work
Dont think I've seen a wing design like that yet - very pretty. I agree with zfm its not your most manouvreable. Great ideas though
Hey its different - and that's good!
You've kept its good handling - and frankly I have to give it 5 :-)
Flies so so nice - about as balanced as it gets - but honestly not sold on the looks. I prefer the previous version
Much much much more better. You have an engine out of alignment with the others - causing it to turn when it shouldn't.
Well it now flies OK with the engines dropped. But is suffering with them on! Keep at it !

@shadowfalcon14 thanks!
@Mkenz i was using a phone! I do 90% of my simple planes work on phone. The sad thing is is that its more powerful than my laptop.....
@hypnotoad easiest way to test is add wings on detachers to out existing speed planes?
@ZFM99 been busy so not produced anything mate!
@Mkenz can I blame auto correct for that? :-)
