Early model, so no spoilers. Also unpowered, real ETA n has a 47 kw motor and fold away propeller, as well as two seats in the cockpit. This one is unmanned, no cockpit.
More details coming soon, kind of bouncing around on what I'm working on these days
**Has a slight tendency to stall easily, just an early working model

It's the next project so it'll show itself soon 🙈 Going to start that one tonight @YaMomzBox420

I just stumbled on to something else that's already along the lines of an idea I already had, so make that 5 now 😂, this one is going to be tricky @YaMomzBox420

@MechanizedBlackSheep lol yeah, I got too many ideas and too little time. 🤤 I do the same thing too. I started off with some basic rocket designs, moved on to more complicated stuff, began to prototype some stuff that's never been done before in this game, before finally going back to my original designs/ideas. To date think I've finished maybe 5% of all my projects(so far).

Yeah it needs quite a few steps to get the holes for the engine, the front wheel, and the cockpit, but I've got 3 other projects going too 😂. I get a new idea I run with it, then I get drained on one I'll flip to something else 🐒@YaMomzBox420

Lol I know the feeling there! Especially since I've been distracted recently by a couple other games I play(basically I can't handle playing the same kind of game all the time, so I bounce back and forth in what I focus on more).
Yet again, you've beaten me to the punch! 🤦 I've been wondering if I could make a glider and you just proved that I can. This is especially interesting to me since I've been wanting to get ahold of one of the "hybrid-glider" RC planes that's essentially the same thing(at least the self powered with foldable props part).
Definitely looking forward to the next version of this as well as whatever else you come up with
@MechanizedBlackSheep trying to keep it a surprise eh? Alright, I'll wait. I gotta start working on a couple of my own projects anyway sinc I've been delaying them too long
