Grob G-109 Ranger (Motor Glider)

120k ACEPILOT109  4.9 years ago

Motor Glider!

Its normal flight controls, be careful on brakes. it does have spoilers and moving control surfaces. its pretty neat and fun to fly. its a weird looking aircraft. I've only seen the RC motor gliders so when I saw this I was confused lol. hope this is fun for you guys, its a side project!

Britain uses it for their volunteer gliding squad. don't know to much detail but the internets got it! simple fly up, and glide! self launching glider basically. no tow plane, no winch, just flying!

    Pretty good! My only complaint is that you’ve enabled suspension on the scaled tail wheel so it sits on the ground with it’s tail hovering.
    Other than that, it flies really well! I love the way it looks.

    A plane with some stupidly long wings and a motor that’s the technical term for “Motor Glider”

    @shitmaker124 hey sir, no offense, but that's not a pretty nickname you got there, "poopmaker124" would be better and explicit-free, or even something creative
