R-4 Lance

647 TuckerAeronauticalLabs  6.3 years ago

Just a plane I threw together since I was bored and hadn't played Simple Planes in some time. It's based on and named after and aircraft I built in Kerbal Space Program recently. The elevons on this craft actually mix pitch and roll with just one "control surface" on each wing. I'll leave it to those curious enough to figure out how those work. Note: Flies best at high speeds.
