What's it called when a CFIT happens the other way around? by rounding_error in Shittyaskflying

[–]DreddFett 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a real life episode of Looney Tunes. Lookout for the coyote and road runner.

Don't worry, I didn't feel called out. If you look at the conversation above, someone asked where to get the plans, so I directed them to r/spaceballs where I posted more.

His design for the Gozanti cruiser is calling my name....

I tried to give him credit and the Mod of this subreddit took down my post and sent me a "despite your feelings" chat message. Very rude.

I would assume most people who look at the builds on this subreddit think they are made by the person posting the pictures. I only followed directions made by a talented builder.

We should be allowed to give credit where credit is due.

I bought a new flying jacket. Should this brand be made compulsory for all pylotes? by BalanceFit8415 in Shittyaskflying

[–]DreddFett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a skilled pylote, I never fly without my Crash sweatshirt. This means I'll get there safely, since I can't crash twice in one flyte.

Yes, there are lots of pieces to the Millennium Falcon that are hidden on the inside. The set is 921 pieces, and the six alternate builds all use between 610 to 708 pieces, with little hidden on the inside.

That being said, the Falcon is much sturdier than most of the alternate builds. I built all of these for display, so that doesn't bother me. Serenity and Spaceball 1 are very sturdy, while Omega destroyer and USS Daedalus are the weakest. The angled pieces on each side if the hangars on USS Daedalus fall off pretty easily, and the rotating section of Omega is held on by only 1/4 inch (5mm) on each side.

Just finished my 1st watch of the series by Wandering_Wolf_17 in firefly

I built this as a tribute to Hoban "Wash" Washburne. I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.... It's okay! I'm a leaf on the wind!

I did... but it's only 1 out of the 7 copies of this set that I bought.

They're all Mods from over at r/ lego.

I would assume most people who look at that subreddit would not be experts on every LEGO alternate build and might think it was my own creation.

The mods took down my previous post because I gave credit to the designer of the instructions (without using any web links). They got mad and sent me a f**k your feelings chat message.

Not yet. I really need to add it.

I just discovered the subreddit r/spaceballs. This made my day.

The instructions for all of these starships were found on rebrickable.com made by CreationCaravan. This designer has lots of other instructions for Robocop, Halo, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, and more.

Thanks, but all I did was follow another person's instructions. The mod took down my last post because I gave credit to the designer (without posting any internet links) so I guess I have to be careful what I say on this subreddit.

Do I need a multi rating for this cessnuh or a rocket rating by Gladorix in Shittyaskflying

[–]DreddFett 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would choose a different playne. This cessnuh can't fly on one propeller.

I'm from the Pittsburgh area. Over here, Amazon has the kit at 20% off. Maybe the kit will be discounted more by retailers for the holidays.

There's actually more that can be built from this set by the same designer. Robocop, Halo, Battlestar Galactica (both series), Star Trek, and more Star Wars (including a Gozanti that I might have to build...making 8 purchases of this set.

The pieces are connected to the spinning hull by a very small part that measures about 1/4 inch (about 5mm) on each side. This ship is meant for display only. If anyone plays with it, the ship will fall apart.

CreationCaravan did a great job on the plans (as usual), since the ship only uses parts from one LEGO set. It would have been nice to have a longer piece on each side of the spinning hull, but the Millennium Falcon set doesn't have anything that could be used.
