G-24 "Queen"

42.4k Supercraft888  7.7 years ago

Hello everyone! Supercraft888 here, and I bring you the second last entry in the Cards series of gliders, The Queen. I tried to combine a blimp Gonola and hand glider wings as a little experiment and I say it worked pretty well!

---Instructions---
•VTOL Up and Down to manouver the engines
-VTOL down will make the craft go forward
-VTOL up will make the craft go backwards
-VTOL straight up will give you altitude but it will
make the plane VERY unstable

---Description---
"Beauty and elegance meets ruggedness and dependability. Perfect for those looking for an adventure."
-Frontier Aircraft website description

The G-24 "Queen" glider is an odd glider, it uses the concept of a blimp gondola, and the wings of a hand glider to make it fly. Due to its large wings and large cargo load, it's capable of gliding on wind currents and is ideal for the rich or for helping colonize rather windy planets at a cheap price.

When used for colonization, it carries essentials and other things to remote areas at a very cheap price due to it not requiring much fuel.
