The Bumble Bee II is the world's smallest piloted airplane. It was built by Robert H. Starr. Its first flight was on 8 May 1988. This recreation is rather wobbly in flight and there is some glitching during takeoff where it seems to be stalling/flat spinning while going forward (change to an arial location and you should be fine) hope you enjoy!

19.3k SkipperBing@planesnthings yeah, the vertical stabilizers are essential to any build in this game, even if the true physics of the craft don't require it. Glad to see someone else has been looking into this little guy. I look forward to seeing your take on it!9.6 years ago
