Arado E.381 Kleinsjäger

22.7k amazingperson124  8.7 years ago

The Arado E. 381 was one of those crazy German fighter designs made towards the end of the war. It was made very small to both minimise its frontal cross-section, and to reduce materials needed. It was so small, in fact, that the pilot had to sit prone! The "cockpit" was small and cramped, to the point that special protrusions were made on the side of the fuselage for elbows. This is my first rocket powered plane, and is a proof of concept for good looking rocketplanes. Use action group 1 to start rocket. I recommend starting from the air. For some reason, if you go too hard on the pitch, the plane will roll.

    @Me600 I have tried that, but the roll was still a problem.

    Great job! A suggestion, make the control surfaces for pitch smaller. It will sacrifice maneuverability but it will stop rolling
