SPE Flex-1

162k spefyjerbf  8.5 years ago

The Flex-1 experimental aircraft was yet another experiment that involved different methods for maneuvering an aircraft. This jet moves by bending its tail.

Press Activator 1 to let the tail move. Activator 2 makes it move more. Activator 3 makes it move even more. Note that the plane is easier to control when only activator 1 is active.

So yeah... this is a snake jet. I hope the community likes it. I put some work into this little guy.
