Cirrus-First Full airframe chute

120k ACEPILOT109  6.4 years ago

You can’t see from the photos but if you press AG-1 a emergency recovery system will be activated, this is a real system and has saved many lives. I have not seen a recovery chute in simpleplanes built only to save the plane and not just to slow it down. Still wip and proof of concept

-controls-

AG-1 for the chute, make sure u put the gear down after activation
Same flight controls as any normal plane in simpleplanes

    Nice, some reason it reminds me of the Styrofoam motorized planes years ago.
