This is what I used to create this RC plane
using SP like cad is not a bad Idea, I have done it other times, like with my PT-109 stearby But this is the most recent. This, as you can tell is a VTOL tail sitter design, and is my first intentional VTOL design. Although in real life if fly's, weird, you can have my prototype I made here on SP, although low on detail it was just a mock up.
Controls
Activation Group - 8 :Gyro to allow VTOL
Normal flight controls, no rudder.
The Real Thing
If your interested in the VTOL, click me to view my YouTube page where I post my aviation content.
To answer FAQs, yes I built this myself, it is made out of foam board, and yes, it flew like poop!!
If you want to see more stuff like this subskrib please! I really want to grow my channel to allow more aviation content to be on the internet, and inspire people like they inspired me, ha life goals are cool.

@Ruskiwaffle1991
ha nice
This is my suggestion lmao
Thanks!!
@Mobileplayer1029
The plane you made in irl looks pretty good ngl
Thank ya! @Memri
Ace pilot did a hand reveal 😳😳
seriously tho, it's nice
@ACEPILOT109 Hmm yes
Really? Do you have any photos? @SilverStar
Cool.@ACEPILOT109
I also use Simpleplanes to make (powered) paper airplanes in real life
@ACEPILOT109 I couldn’t fly it so when I tested it out I was like: huh huh I’m in danger
I wanna see it fly maybe a video but that has nothing to do with simpleplanes so i guess not
@CaptainSquadronLeaderX
thank you!
@ACEPILOT109 No problem
@ACEPILOT109 nice rc plane!
Lol@xboxseriesx
If you see the video, the way I dealt with it was to just nail full power and hope I get enough relative airspeed over the surface to stop the rolling, I may make a V2 with two props (counter rotating) @AerialAerialTheSnake
Thanks! @tsampoy
Never seen anyone made an RC Pogo before, that's pretty cool
Thats a small arm hand ✍︎︎𓂻
I kinda thought a Convair Pogo would be a cool rc plane.
Sadly no 3D printer yet
Intresting, and yes life goal is great, what you have more than one?
Cool build. Btw how did you deal with the torque effect of the propeller while taking off?
