The Slow Plane

2,284 Mickk  5.6 years ago

This plane does everything at a reasonably slow rate.

It might just be the plane to learn how to fly on.

Likes to fly up a little, but a bit of trim fixes that.

Wing structure is a little special, flaps and so on are separate from the wing, look for the gaps around them.

Only has a little fuel, so don't expect to be in the air for a long time, despite the tiny motor it has.

Zero XML editing used, except for the wings, which probably didn't need it anyway. lol

Controls as per usual.

    Working on something that is a little slower, just for giggles.
    I may even post it.
    Currently 76 mph top speed and not falling out of the sky, mind it deosn't exactly take off either.
    You sort of run it off of a convenient cliff and cross your fingers that it becomes stable before hitting the water.
    Heh.

    I know.
    It is about as fast as a Spitfire at the same height, maybe a little faster.
