Awesome!! Love the team projects!

Alpha build in progress to see how things will look. Wing goes together very easily, double spar (for now) at the wing root and tapered further out.

We are thinking about an octagonal or greater number of faces for the fuse. Toying with some layouts - following methods that @DamoRC uses.

The wing looks great! Keep At it!

Anything new?

 

[rockyboy]

Any updates? The build looks very clean so far...

 

[Michael9865]

Hopefully I can get an updated build and flight before the deadline. If no more changes only need to colorize the plans.

Please please PLEASE provide these plans if you get it built. I've been wanting the Devastator plans that were floating around a while back, but they never surfaced. Crimson Skies was one of my favorite PC games, flying some of those planes were great. I was thinking at one point of the J-2 Fury, but I couldn't get motivated enough to build it.

Check out some of the Heaven's Spade one's I'm putting together... in the challenge. too. as half are Crimson Skies inspired.
