Auto Credit Based on Aweyer26's Mechanical Plane Challenge
Here is my entry to the mechanical plane challenge.
I decided to attach all of the control surfaces directly to the flight stick. This plane is able to fly well as long as you go easy on the controls (it is no f-15).
When taking off, make sure the tail has lifted of the runway completely before pitching up.
You can take off and land as long as you follow these instructions, and in air it flys pretty good.
Pitching down is exageratted more than pitching up because of the geometry so keep that in mind.
There is no yaw control.
Don’t mix pitch and roll too much.
The only xml modded part is a smaller cockpit.
