So this is the plane from my teaser, its based off of Richard Pearse's monoplane of "1903". The craft itself is quite small for a plane length wise. This build was quite refreshing in the long run and im quite happy with it. On to the actual plane, During the early 20th a New Zealander was determined to fly. Pearse himself was mostly self taught. The engine he used for his plane produced 15 to 25 HP and weighed only 110 lbs. He had recorded that he did make some short hops, but pearse himself never said he flew, in fact no one did. My machine was meant to replicate the possible but unknown handing qaulities of the plane, the plane is somewhat slow to respond to rolling or yaw. Although pitch can be quite sensitive, so when you reach 70 MPH pitch up slowly and correct you course if needed, also if you start skidding counteract with rudder and ailerions, have fun flying - ThePrototype
ALSO: it's impossible to land for some reason, I'm sorry about that....
ALSO THE MACHINE IS CHALLENGING TO FLY, SO BE WARNED
NOTE: MORE TO BE ADDED LATER

Some trying times, huh.
But I have faith in your ability to make these fly.
@ThePrototype
Yeah, I remember because I couldn't decide what to build @MrVaultech
Interesting. Yeah, I remember this one, or you talling about it I think
@ThePrototype
@MrVaultech Here was the Richard Pearse plane I was talking about building
Thanks man, he had the power to Weight ratio to do it, there are supposedly multiple witnesses, they also said a few second after takeoff he crash into some grass hedges about 12 ft tall @CDRxavier
You don't expect a proto-plane to land nicely.
Looks awesome, although I was quite skeptical about how he "did a short hop" if this was the actual performance (simple planes physics)
Looks fantastic.
@ThePrototype I don't know how
I just literally fallen on the wheels
@ThePrototype @ThePrototype just by an accident, I was flying and slightly stalled on the ground, then left the stall and gently landed
WAIT WHAT? HOW?!?!? @JetFly
but..i have landed..
Thanks man @Theplanelover77
Cool spaghetti
Thanks man, before this is was even harder to fly..... you had to learn how to handle every little mistake, and if did make a mistake there was a chance you couldn't correct it. The plane originally was very unforgiving @ThePilotDude
Thanks, and I appreciate the honesty @Blue0Bull
no problem
I Have Built A Carrier For My IVO Skytram, The Dolphin Tanker Carrier. @Delphinos Thanks,Cuz Ur Name Sounds Like Dolphin, So Shoutout To You. Anyways,It Will Be Uploaded Tomorrow .
No haha. But I hope you replace it before it completely dies haha @ThePrototype
Did I also mention my phone is slowly dying? XD @Hyattorama
Happy to do it :) great work! @ThePrototype
Haha yeah I bet you’ve had about a thousand headaches building these things on your phone haha @ThePrototype
Thanks for the spotlight man!!!!! @Hyattorama
And people think it's hard to build on IOS....... @Hyattorama if only they knew the my troubles
Thanks man, I'm surprised I even managed to teach myself all of this. But I want to move on to much more complicated than things....... @Hyattorama
Wow this is great! You’re right it is pretty tricky to fly haha. At least for me it is. And maybe that’s historically accurate anyway. But the construction itself is fantastic! I don’t know how the heck you build all those mechanical linkages it is so cool!
