A3's Powered Glider

8,412 A3  7.7 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Ducani's Performance Glider W/ Fully Featured Cockpit

Hello Every one he is my latest and one of my most unique builds. It is a two cockpit glider (credit: glider body by Ducani) it is really fun just to fly around.

Caution: when you retract the gear sometimes the right inner wing will lift up and stay up. All you do is wait for it to retract fully and then press extend and quickly retract and you will be fine.

AG:

1 light
2 light
3 light
4 light
(Forgot each one sorry XD)

Trim needed!

Have fun

    @A3 Yeah, I believe that, I myself have never found a way to make a retractable engine.

    @KSPFSXandSP @Modderman123 I said it many times, There are gliders with propeller engines, they’re called Motor gliders, this is a tourist motor glider (TMG) because it doesn’t have a retractable engine, we don’t have any on our airfield but It’s in my student’s book.

    As liquid fox said "Some glider have motors to get them to altitude, then the prop usually folds and it glides" @KSPFSXandSP
