NoFuel Plane 2
Note: please read the instructions to fly the plane. This is a fuel-less, piston powered plane capable of taking off on its own and climbing to 5000ft. It is powered by two radial 18 piston engines by @MethaManAerospace, the blades being modified by me. I went through several prototypes to arrive at this. Controls: VTOL=Propeller pitch, Throttle = throttle, pitch=elevators, roll=ailerons, yaw = rudder, Trim = flaps. How to fly: 1. Give the propeller 50% pitch +ve or -ve using the VTOL slider. (This somehow increases the chances of the engines spinning in the correct direction, i.e. in opposite directions to each other) 2. 100% throttle (the plane will then move either forward or backward.) 3. if the plane moves forward, give the propellers full pitch using the VTOL slider. if the plane moves backwards, give full pitch in the other direction. If the plane turns to one side and crashes, one engine had started in the wrong direction and you need to restart and try again. 4. after reaching 100mph+, you can take off and fly normally. the plane can reach over 200mph if you try. Thank you!

Thanks guys for the kind comments
I absolutely love the idea of no fuel planes. I made a couple a while back but they took the whole runway to get off the ground and were barely able to climb. On the other hand this thing really flies.
Just wow
