Fishminer's Paraplane
Controls:
Pretty normal controls, but you're going to want to use a lot of trim. It helps. Trust me.
This aircraft is controlled entirely by winches (except yaw - but nobody ever uses that). It is kind of hard to fly, but it's really fun when you get the hang of it.

@DanDaFreakinMan thanks lol
I really like the look, even more than the original one, but I like Fishminer's flight characteristic more
@Kissingthehomiesgoodnight I've found that the bigger I make it the harder it is to fly. Mostly because I have to make the chute longer and I can't really do that without making the post really tall or the landing gear freakishly long
@ACEPILOT109 Yeah sure
hey so im making my paraplane, and Ima need to steal some of your FT code... is that alright? Its only the code all the other stuff is made by me
i’m loving these man!! you should make a huge bomber one lol
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook yeah
@Carbonfox1 yeah turning is hard
Very unstable but an interesting concept
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook getting it to take off isnt the hard part, the hard part is yaw stability and turning
@Carbonfox1 lol it's hard. You have to keep pulling up until it takes off
Yeah@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
This thing is nearly impossible to fly for me lol
@Hedero It's a fun control system
@UltraLight SP physics don't like paramotors lol. I made one with a realistic airfoil shape and it didn't work at all
Pretty nice, there could be some flight model improvements: irl paramotors are really stable, but also very maneuverable. Tricky to do in SP but, there could be a way. I want to make a paramotor myself but I hate winches
Oh yeah but I don't know of any aircraft on sp that uses this control system it's pretty freakin' awesome.@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
@Hedero Well it's not a replica obviously but the control system isn't accurate to what a real paraglider/paramotor would be
Accurately to what?@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
@Hedero Lol I didn't make this very accurately lol
Dang that's sick
paarpa plane chalmeg
@FishMiner
alright sounds cool
@ACEPILOT109 I'll reveal more details in a forum tomorrow. It's going to be kind of like a challenge, just set up very differently.
@FishMiner
uh oh
ok lol
