FT Circle Plane

40.2k Typhoon03  5.7 years ago

This is an aircraft I built to test concepts and techniques that I've recently discovered, namely the 'circle plane' concept and using twin tails, which I just learnt how to do. This plane flies well and is great for pictures, especially at night. There is also the challenge of flying another plane through the wing. Refrain from pitching down too hard, as the wing can collapse. Instead, try the Spitfire roll technique.
