Nicely done! The door kinda merges with the rest of it, but I'm sure that once you add the door trim, it will work. |

Trim on the door still needs work.. It's still blending in too much with the side.
This pic may help a bit. Don't know. It's not the same model

Ok I want some feedback..so if you are reading this..talk to me...Know I know this is all fantasy, but I want to make it somewhat believable. Do the motors and the props look porportion to the RV? Is there some formual to figure this out? |

It's gonna need a vertical stabilizer and a rudder.
The wings should do fine as is, but the engines would have to be bigger, unless they are special atomic power types :D |

you need to attach the wings to the top of the RV, not just lay them on there. ;) |

Still have abunch to do guys...I will get to that..I guess I should have been more clear on what I wanted commented on...the engines and props was what I was curious about..their size to the rv overall. Thanks for the interest though. |

I know it's supposed to be 'primitive' but the wings need to have an aerofoil section (not a rectangular cross-section) and could do with being bigger (and with bigger engines as already mentioned) - at the moment I don't see any way that could generate nearly enough lift to get several tonnes of truck off the road...
But it's a cool look! Looking forward to the next stage of development. |

rjeff,
Remember you could rename this to
"Dang, this here thang can fly!":D
Think plywood.
Looking good. |
