Get two free planes for the price of one free plane!! This is the Cessnot 600 towing the PretendaSail P-zero (whose name now makes no sense). I’ve wanted to do this ever since I first discovered SP. And now it’s here, so I’m ready to hear your thoughts! On a more somber note, though; it isn’t easy flying two planes at the same time with one set of controls. So I recommend using the gyros until you get a feel for it. It’s not exactly easy even with the gyros... but once you get it, it’s great fun! Just be gentle with the pitch, make gentle turns, and let it climb (realistically) slow. Flight controls are standard.
Ag1- engine
Ag2- pitch/yaw gyro activation for Cessnot (tow plane)
Ag3+VTOL- variable elevation [cockpit view] in P-zero (glider) so you can look over the dash and see the tow plane better.
Ag5- Cessnot gyro
Ag6- P-zero gyro
Ag7- Release!! (Also activates stronger gyro inside Cessnot so it can soar off into the sunset)
I’m sorry for the complicated Ag controls, but it’s a complicated contraption...
I’m curious if anyone else will enjoy flying this so please leave a comment! :)

Thanks! I hope you have fun with it! @OwenFPV
I love the sailplanes with tow planes, but I've only found a few in SP. Very good job! @Hyattorama
Great minds drink alike! (That’s the saying, right...?) @KiVZ
Well, let’s see it man! Haha. And thank you, btw :) @KiVZ
Yeah, I know :/ I figured it would be easier to fly that way for more people. @jamesPLANESii
