The Tundra

19.4k TTHHSSSS  8.4 years ago

I've always loved STOL bush planes. I love how slow, yet aerobatic and raw they can be. Here is my version of a bush plane, fully equipped with all types of lights, flaps and bush tires. Use flaps with vtol. 1 turns on nav. lights. 2 turns on landing lights. And 3 turns on the taxi light. It takes off at around 70-80mph and can land anywhere. I really hope you enjoy it, because I really love it! Note: Thanks to redbeard, because his super stol really inpired me to build one.

    Maybe in the description put both links - the one for the updated version as well as the one you showcased. Thanks once again for selecting my tundra! @oDDDynamics

    No way! Woohoo! Btw, there is an updated version of this which is probably better. It flies much slower and it more stol. Here's the link: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4vFvFp/The-Tundra-50mph-Super-Stol @oDDDynamics

    That's the plan, that way you can repost and get the upvotes. (I can't eat em or spend em so I don't need em!) @TTHHSSSS

    Maybe upload it privately and then post the link here so I can find it better so it could be more secret and so I can do some design tweaks before the full release. @RedBeard66

    @RedBeard66 hey, I have a question. Would you mind to xml mod this tundra to be lighter like you did on another user's ultralight? I really want to try to see how slow it can go!

    Stick a contra rotating prop on this we a 90" diameter and 40 degree pitch and you cut its take off time in half and almost double its top speed
