F-16XL

There isn't one ANYWHERE for FS9 or FSX.

There was one a long time ago for CFS, but it doesn't work in FSX at all, and not very well in FS9.

This is the one plane I have always wanted in FS.  I hope I'm not alone.

Building models is a very long frustrating learning curve

To be able to do this you really need to be making something you are really interested in.

It's not a good idea to make something as a request as the drive will just not be there.

There must be something you like not yet built

The GlaStar GS-1. None exist for FS2004 and X. (I believe) It is a very cool plane. It is a kit built plane by Glasair aviation. I don't think it would be to hard. Not as hard as some planes.

This is a picture of a glastar that belongs to one of my friends.

You are right, and I am only trying to find out what would be worth the while - my favourite - the F-14 is so overdone. so many models, that I try to see is there anything uot there I do not know about, but will like so much it is worth building

How about a helicopter like a Kaman K-max?

A beautiful plane and looks like a good starter model too.  It looks like it will test you on most of the features you'll need to learn, i.e. booleans, extruding, etc...

I apologise for a misunderstanding Harold. You meant well.
It would be nice to create something all new. in fact I have a whole new creation I want to do. But basics first, and that is why I want to do a small plane first to learn. I know there is a lot of designers that will help and give advice  :-) that is what I like about SimV! always friendly helping members ;D
