World's Smallest Vanilla Plane

[Brooka]

At just 22 blocks, I'm pretty confident this is the smallest vanilla plane on the workshop.

Controls:
L shift: Toggle engine, can be switched to press to hold if preferred.
Up and down arrows: Control pitch, to takeoff first pitch down in order to lift the rear tail, then pitch up to take off.
Left and right arrows: Roll left or right

I'll attach the bsg file below

what the.. this is crazy
I don't see the steering, is it RTC?

 

[Brooka]

Thank you. nope its just reaction wheels, I've just set them to invisible, you can see them without skins on

 

[Brooka]

I've made it slightly smaller again, reducing the wing span by 4/10ths of a block, and dropping the rear tail fin down a bit, lowering its profile, I think by 2/10ths of a block.

Damn, i've been fooled
I always forgot about that invisible skin XD

 

[Brooka]

Hehehe, its a brilliant skin, very useful

man, i think its possible make a vanila plane smaller, like, just one pipe has all the landing gears, maybe its posible use 1 wheel instead of 2 for pitch, etc....
just ideas

[Brooka]

Not sure where the one wheel for pitch would go, otherwise it would be asymmetrical

 

[wasdlucas]

well, the pipe idea its good, wow, uau can reduce 1 block count

 

[Brooka]

Thats true, a half pipe would reduce block count, but would make the plane bigger, maybe I'll make a lowest block count vanilla plane next

 

[wasdlucas]

lol, i'm actually talking about the plow, but i've forgoten the name.
the plow don't is so big, and will allow the plane fall back when start, making easier take off.

 

[wasdlucas]

Cant you remove the joints, and put the wings upper, sticked to a new block.
Then, you can remove the braces!
-3 block count, and smaller plane. With the plow as landing gear Idea, you can remove +1 of block count, soooo
22-4= 18 block count vanilla plane! Wow!

 

[wasdlucas]

hey, i've modified it, now even smaller and with 17 blocks ;P

 

[wasdlucas]

Hey.... Guy....

 

[ITR]

Check if you can manage to make a 5-block one!

 

[Brooka]

Right yeah I see what you mean, I think I might be able to reduce the block count by 1. I will try later, the original plan was to make as small as possible, not as low block count, I have seen a 6 block flyer, by brammer: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=731341955

Not sure how you could do better.

16 blocks now, much smaller than the Hummingbird, gonna call it the bumblebee, cos it flies retarded and looks a bit derpy, but I quite like it, I'll credit you when I upload it
