Glider tow set-up

324 Flakbait  5.7 years ago

Simple glider tow system I came up with. Feel free to revise it as you see fit. A few things to note with this setup, act1 cuts the the tow rope on the glider side, act2 cuts it on the bomber side, vtol for airbrakes. The gliders pitch is also activated by act1 to keep the flight stable. Also the bomber has a fairly powerful gyroscope setup to keep the plane level. Its activated with 8 so if you want to use roll or pitch turn 8 off. Keep your movements slow and steady when you're towing. - Have fun! Ps. I stole the glider
