Auto Credit Based on SerialVapist's Powered Parachute
I found this model done by SerialVapist I thought it was quite fun. It was however almost impossible to land, and I thought I could try to adjust some wheel parameters to make it possible. The CoG and wheel geometry is really unfavorable so I had to do a bit of XML magic but it works. To take-off, check the instruction on the original build. To land simply decrease throttle between 75-80% and pitch the nose slightly upwards. Don't brake to harshly, and things should be fine.
