Basic Trainer

310k WinsWings  3.0 years ago

This is a small trainer with simple controls and the air-brakes. You can turn off the engines and have a smooth glide for a while. Apply the airbrakes by pulling/holding down the engine/throttle to zero.

Built with just 20 parts and keep it as simple as possible.
Appreciate your feedback for improvement in the future.

Have fun!

    @Sockdragger Sorry, I just saw your comment. Thanks for your suggestion, I will look into it. This was my early build and maybe I was not aware of the details.

    Real neat for only 20 parts. Unfortunately, it has the same error your seaplane has: somehow the controls for the tailplane got set to 'roll' where they should be switched to 'jaw' and the option 'invert' switched to 'true'. Just park the plane on the runway and move the left control stick, you see what I mean.
