An RV8 with miniguns on the wings was used as an AH Convention novelty plane years ago.

The plane survives but the guns are gone.

Except for offline, I wish  :pray

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

A listing from the game of all the planes and vehicles (and so on) available in AH. This was last updated with the introduction of the M4(76)W and so it will change over time. This is in pdf format.

The wings are all wrong.  Where's the bend?  Where's the blue paint?

No experimental decals?

N numbers are awfully small  :)

Thanks Hitech, but whats this talk of miniguns? :headscratch: Somthing tells me in cant support them. Oh, and thanks for just posting, its the first time the powers that be have posted in my threads. :lol :rofl

My Bearhawk can carry a minigun   :)

I don't think the FAA rep will pass it for the airworthiness cert, though   :noid

Experimental only needs to be plainly visible by the occupants. It is written big on the inside.

N numbers are the exact minimum dimensions. I can't think of why that may be.I think it has something to do with insurance.

I don't really want my numbers to be very big, either.  I think size has to do with speed, also.  I remember reading something about how, as you pass certain tiers in speed capability, the minimum size increases.

When I am finished building, I am going to make my experimental decal as large as allowable and put it on the outside, right above the cockpit door..... on both sides :aok

Passenger warning plate will be just as obvious   :D

How long did your build take?

I'm looking at about 2500 hrs total (scratch build)

I upped a Hurri 2D and killed so many of those things, it was a shark slaughter!

what did the cockpit look like (or did it fly in F3?)
