1948 Hyperion D-16 Silver Comet

@Livingg017 Feel free to check it out. It uses far fewer parts than the original D-16, so runs much more smoothly on mobile.

so i only messed up with textures

also did you notice that the cockpit in my remake is smoother? i was going to give it a more smooth shape but i thought it maybe was too much remodelling

@HyperionEnterprises great ill check them out tomorrow as i write this on a kindle ebook lol. if you want i can help you with the landing gear thing in future crafts

@Livingg017 I just uploaded the more modern turboprop version of this plane a little while ago. It’s even lighter; most of the weight in the 1948-1970 models is from the engine nacelles and the radial engines themselves (each engine is well over 1000 kg)

@Livingg017 I can never get landing gear to look quite right. My philosophy is that if it can safely get my craft to rest on the ground without damaging the engines or body, then it’s good enough to pass, lol.

also your aluminium does do the job, i have fighters twice as heavy as this

@Aludra877 have you seen the pics i took for the HF-01 / HF-01S or the mako mk2? those are really good

@HyperionEnterprises i initially downloaded it cuz the dc3 looks because the cockpit looked nice and then i saw the landing gear so i edited it to look better, i saw other of your crafts and i think that i can so some other great wheel updates on them, if you want

@HyperionEnterprises indeed it does, live long and prosper bro, gotta sleep now

@Aludra877 Thanks! It helps with getting good shots for the uploads

@HyperionEnterprises you've got the eye for photography bro, neat!

@Livingg017 I saw your post. I can see why you switched it to the tailsitter configuration because yikes, it leans backwards a lot. I think when I release the turboprop version of this plane, I’ll switch to the tailsitter config

@Aludra877 Yeah, I was taking the Comet out for a test flight and saw Brigo on the horizon and actually yelled out loud “HOLY CRAP, PHOTO OPPORTUNITY!!” I then proceeded to put the plane down and snap some pictures :)

I modified it so it now is a tailsitter. Hope u like it you can upload it if you want

Love the interior work and outside work, and Brigo on the last pic
