Vette, I have been asked numerous times what advice I would give to people trying to make aircraft. My advice is always the same and it was also given to me by Javier Rollon. DO NOT make something big. If you are new to making aircraft, or even new to Blender, start with the smallest, easiest aircraft you can. An ultralight would be my suggestion. You'll finish it quicker, you will learn a lot in the process, and you will see it in the sim, completed, a lot earlier than you would a larger aircraft. A larger aircraft will test your patience, and you will likely lose interest and give up. There are no shortcuts. Have patience and learn from your mistakes. Back to IXEG discussion.
