INSTRUCTIONS: IT'S A GLIDER! Spawn a spot above your desired landing zone with another airplane, put your CG-4 there, then glide to landing. It likes 75-82 mph best, use between 1/4 and 1/2 nose up (trim slider down) trim. It stalls at 71 mph, if you stall, push the stick forward and keep the wings level because it will spin! VTOL slider down for spoilers, use judiciously because you can slow too much and stall...this glider requires a deft touch to fly well. HISTORY: More than 13,900 Waco CG-4s were built during WWII, participating during many ops, most famously the D-Day invasions and Op MARKET GARDEN, to deliver 13 troops or jeeps, guns, etc. This one has the famous "invasion stripes" to make sure they weren't shot at by Allied forces. Upvote if you like it, have fun and fly safe!

@placeholder23154132513 THANK YOU MAN IT IS
@Project8P8Manager it's probably Brothers in Arms 2, I think it's the Sicily mission where the pilot gets hit and you take his place and land the plane, that game was amazing.
This was in a WW2 mobile game in a part when you had to follow some points so you don't get taken down by flak, I have been sesrcjing for that game since 2018, does someone remember it? I think it was only on Iphone and it was from game loft I thinkkkk
@Megaplanesinc yes, one of my earlier creations, the is CoM too close to the CoL...it glides well enough for what it is because of this, but is unstable and will stall and auto-rotate (spin) if it gets out of hand.
When you said spin i thought you ment roll. But no this ting is a dang HELICOPTER
I saw one of these in a museum. A replica anyway.
Look at you, great job
Come check out my version of this (I just added stuff) there is a double plane and the normal plane with engines
Perhaps I'll do a Horsa next...
@ESIOTROT121 kind of, very similar, but the Waco was smaller and was appreciated for being to get into small fields
cool man
@Mrwhiskers85 wow, have never heard that, sounds like a stretch since the cockpit is at the end of the nose and you'd have to lift the cockpit with the nose in flight to do that. But, they flew a lot of sorties in WWII, so there might be a kernel of truth in that if something had gotten loose once and the glider was tumbling, perhaps the jeep broke loose out the front and the pilots went on to land somehow afterwards. There are plenty of stories of bomber crewmembers falling out of stricken bombers without parachutes who passed out, but somehow survived the fall only to spend the rest of the war in a prison camp.
Now, Ive heard with these CG-4s that if the cargo in the back(such as a jeep) were to come loose, they would open the nose in flight and let it roll out the front, then lower the nose and resume flying
@jamesPLANESii yes, it surely glides kind of like a rock, most of the early 1930s-40s gliders did that. I am sure the actual CG-4 glided a little better than my SP version, I've found the physics, while really good, aren't perfect, plus my CG-4 here is a bit down-sized as I wanted it to be the same 2/3 scale as my C-47...the reason why that one is scaled down because I wanted the engines to be the correct proportion. Most of my builds are that way.
@littleleeches, correction, I did use one previously modded part: the speedbrakes, they won't normally attach to the wings!
@littleleeches, lots of practice. This isn't modded in any way, I don't even use the fine tuner mod.
Speed brakes. Not that you'll ever need them! Lol! Every metre every foot you loose in height you'll only travel 3! 😂 Very nice looking though.
I cheat and ask people to do the modding for me lol. @littleleeches
Ooh! One of these things!
How do you people do this on mobile stuff?
Awesome!
Wow, almost forgot: Again, thank you, thank you to @thealban for the markings!!!
@FennVectorCWA awesome, glad you enjoy it!
@ChiChiWerx sure and i ve landed successfully !
@FennVectorCWA agree, that would be totally awesome if you could figure that out! If you do, please let me know.
