Flower Glider

8,810 Verterium  8.0 years ago

Another glider, because I asked everyone on my first one if they wanted to see another, and they said yes. This one is a lot smaller than the first one. I named it "Flower Glider" because the yaw and pitch wings in the back reminded me of a flower shape. I tuned this plane very, very specifically, so that when at full thrust, the plane has a slight pitch up.

When taking off, just go full throttle, and the plane will take off by itself when it is ready.

It is almost perfectly balanced, and can go completely flat for almost forever. I hope you guys like this new glider. And yes, I know, it's powered, that is just so you can take off, instead of being pulled or dropped from a height. Hope you guys like this build!

    Well......superb balancing! (I only inverted the yaw control). I may save this one too. It holds airspeed in level flight for ages! Startling, to say the least! Well done, again!

    Yeah, that's probably why. I had it balanced just perfectly. Also, since you are already here, can you upvote? I'm sorry to sound like I'm begging for upvotes...@Swiftsure

    @Dovahkiin420 Yeah, sorry about that. I'm not very good at interiors. And I forgot to move the cockpit up for a good cockpit view outside of the plane.
