A car with a paraglider. Inspired by fishminer's paraplane https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/163nOM/Paraplane

How to use

Accelerate slowly and let the parachute deploy fully. If the parachute is folded inward stop accelerating and try to turn to help it open. Once the parachute is opened to the point where it looks like it is in the editor, throttle up for the propeller and keep accelerating.

Controls

Roll to turn
Pitch to drive on ground
Throttle to activate the propellers
(there is no pitch control, the faster you go the more you pitch up)
