used at D-Day etc. it is in game 1-1 scale and has a lot of unique characteristics you don't really think about in powered flight. optimum speed is around 72 mph. be wary of ground effect, as too much pitch input will tend to flip the aircraft. that said ground effect will let you hover almost indefinitely without landing. I am unsure if it is the game engine or real physics. either way, the aircraft is built as close to the original weight and measurements as the game sliders would allow. if someone wants to build a tow plane or something, go for it. it's beyond me at this point.

    The most effective thing I've done is created way points with powered aircraft and launch from there. But we really need a large land mass rather than islands

    Update: After trying for hours I couldn't make a tow plane because of weird phisics. I'm just going to add rockets to boost it for a miniute or so

    I'll build you a tow plane to the best I can do on iOS
