So cute and rather easy to control
So this is pretty nice!
@Lolivier Thanks for catching that!
(and "squelette" is only with one "l", it's like if I would say "sklleton", just French things ;) )
Pretty simple, this is kinda refreshing when we check ultracomplicated fully modded aircrafts, it flies at a low speed, with low weight and low fuel, it's great. Only thing, the yaw is completely useless. Anyway, this is simple, rustic, and great. Not a fancy aircraft, just something which is pleasant to fly into. Fairly good...
