Quickie...Ready for Takeoff!

First, wow great job, Robert! You even made it slightly nose heavy with the 50hp Rotax vs the 18hp Onan, outstanding! Slow flight and stalls are great! I love the flight dynamics, she rolls really nice too! :icon_twi:

Secondly, VC is working fine here, no problems. :wavey:

Third, I'll be the bum who asks,"Paint Kit?" :icon_lol: (Kidding)
 
How fun to wake up & discover that it actually did get out on one of the sites I uploaded to last night:jump:
I'm glad you guys like it! I put about 6 months of my spare time into creating it, and I am happy with how it turned out.

jakegazzard, I am baffled as to why your VC does not work. Is it just the gauges? Does anything work?:isadizzy:
 
Great job, Robert, thanks!

Hey this is pretty cool. I like the way you made it fly too and it does do nice rolls. :applause:

I considered making the two seat version, the Q200, right after it came out. Went to Mojave to see it, and did, but Burt Rutan was right next door and the Long EZ hooked me. I did use the same Mitchell gauges and Collins transponder in my Long, so I feel right at home in your Quickie. :ernae:

How's the Thorp doing?

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
A quick note on the flight model...during testing Kiwikat came up with a few tweaks that I included. :icon29:
 
no pics...:monkies::running:

I love it, it's fun to fly and it looks cool. Thanks a lot for this little jem, Robert :ernae:
 
Beautiful little airplane Robert, thanks a bunch for this one. One problem I have though is the pilots head. . .it remains tilted to one side as though he's doing a hard bank or roll. He doesn't sit upright. . . .also. . . .paint kit?
 
Odd...so the head is not animated at all?
The 'exterior.psd' file that was included in the zip covers all the exterior painting :d

EDIT: I just realized something...that's a 'skinned animation', and you need to have the "Advanced Animations" box checked in the settings menu. I tested it to be sure ;)
 
Great shots, Ed! :applause:

Huge thanks to Robert for such a cool little plane. It was neat watching it develop from it's first polygons. :ernae:
 
You bet! A sticky it is :applause: Thank you sir :medals: Sorry for being slow ... was hung up in turrets and gear and skis.
