Auto Credit Based on asteroidbook345's Mitsubishi G6M1 "Ki" gear fix

Slightly less of a piece o trash. I'm abandoning this wing design though. The controls take a lot of getting used to, and a long glide slope is recommended. It has very low roll stability and sensitivity, so starting from far away on landings is advised. Put trim up fully and pitch down. You won't need engine power for landing.

    @DanDaFreakinMan Yeah I couldn't get the performance where I wanted with the more realistic airfoil

    Looks nice, flies better than Paraplane 3, but still worse than 1 and 2

    @Hedero It does tend to do that yes. I have managed to do barrel rolls in Paraplanes 2 and 5 though. 5 is a jet version of 2 that hasn't been released

    I slightly exceeded my bank angle and the wing just collapsed lol. I must say though I like how it feels like a real parachute the way it collapses.
