A Strange Plane

2,284 Mickk  5.9 years ago

This is a strange plane, the result of an experiment with 'Overload' and seeing just how light you could make a plane and have it fly. Turns out it is very light indeed. The only reason this has any weight at all is to stop the propellor from hitting the ground. Go very gently with the throttle until it takes off, which it will very quickly, then throttle up to full power. Now level off and throttle right back and be surprised. Apart from the wiggling and twitching, it will do something else, as long as you hold the same altitude.

    This is an experiment I did, so the plane flies and that is pretty much it. I don't spend a lot of time making my experimental planes look nice. ;)

    On another note, who wants a Shuttle with Rocket Engines?
