Yes, I'd love a nimrod, but I can't seem to find one here.

I found a good one on a website, and although I cant't remember the name, it was this man's university project, but it was linked to here, and I didn't have a login at the time.

I flew a Fokker DVII biplane at over 3000mph in a dive. too bad it was in x-plane.

unfortunately this thread is about 2 years old. However there is a very nice comet in the works, and there is one in the DM at the moment I think. If you want to convert it to a Nimrod it could be easier to convert it. Im not 100% on the difference between airframe and engines, etc.

The Nimrod may not be around for a bit, it looks like this guy is planing to make it his next project.

The Starship is back!

You're absolutely right, I am intending to make a Nimrod, once I've finished the Comet. The Comet I'm working on first is a Series 4C, which was the basis for the Nimrod. Once the 4C is finished, I'll decide whether to press on with other closely related versions, eg 4/4B, or whether to plunge into another R&D phase on the Nimrod.

As always, time is the enemy. I work freelance, which means I am fortunate enough to work on the Comet in big blocks of time, but equally I'm forced to drop it completely when I'm on a commission. Regrettably, I've been involved in an all-consuming project since the end of last year, and the Comet is only creeping forwards at the moment. Keep an eye on my web-site to check on progress. I try to advance it in some way every week - even if it's only a single gauge.

Guy.

Hi all, I am new to this plane making stuff having only had x-plane for 2 months, (And buying a motorbike so not in to use x-plane very often).

I have been playing with the comet 4c by michael2 that is available from this site to turn it into a Nimrod MR1. the ultimate plan it so carry it on to the larger wings and engines of the MR4.

I am currently awaiting permission from michael2 to upload my version. so fingers crossed you may have one to play with yet.

Please be patient with me as I say this is the first plane i have tinkered with just to get a feel for the software, and i have not got a clue about all the aerodynamic/engine details that are required to build a plane from scratch

Well, I wait with baited breath. It sounds good to me. For a first timer this could be pretty good. Its not a simple aircraft.
