Feather

26.9k Sunnyskies  9.0 years ago

No control surfaces? No problem! Feather utilizes special rotator-based controls. The entire tail is lifted and depressed to pitch, and the entire wings are twisted to roll. It can manuever pretty quickly, but becomes unstable with aggressive inputs. It lands pretty softly as well. Using the tail to push off against the runway on the ground can allow you to do a full 180 without moving. The tail can also be dragged against the ground after landing for added braking.
