Hovercraft Plane

178 emessmer  8.9 years ago

Uses props to get most of its lift. It takes off vertically pretty fast, once you start it. You should try to keep the nose down, because it won't be perfectly strait when taking off, but then it evens out as you go. Feel free to modify it, but beware: I spent a lot of time getting the prop's lift to work; so I wouldnt mess with those unless you know how they work. Have fun! Tell me what you think.

    Great plane
    to powerful to be an hovercraft but a bit to weak on pull up for some plane tricks but the design is soo original and it works so up!

    @SyntaxError I think I've got a pretty good regular prop plane. It flys really good, but nothing crazy like the hovercraft.

    @SyntaxError Thanks, took a lot of work to get the prop's pitch right. But I think got it to work pretty well.
