Pioneer Bush Flier Mk1

2,624 Ravenblack  8.5 years ago

A very short take off and landing (STOL) Bush Flier...
... and kept simple for s l o w e r PC's.

Select VTOL all the way down before take off...

Next, open up full throttle and full back on the stick... You'll be up and climbing at 60mph.

Throttle back fully and hit '1' to pull out the airbrakes... with the stick back and nose up you can pretty drop to 40-50 and land in a few metres.

Thanks to the wheel layout, your nose is high and gaining good lift from the start - and it also helps you avoid ground looping on landing.
