when I started this project, my goal was to build an aircraft that is easy to fly with the characteristics of a glider and the Cessna Skyhawk. And this it the result. Unfortunately it glides not very well( best gliding rate at 100-120 mph...). If you want to glide you don't need to do any thing than set trim to 97% up when you start and if you switch into the glide mode to set it back to neutral and stop the engine. If you want to fly like a normal airplane (=fly with NO gliding mode) add more weight to the front. I also don't like the colors of the plane. If you want you can just for fun upload your version with your colors. Have a good flight -Benny:)
