Piston Prop

Yes i know its ugly, yes i know that it looks weird, but here is the thing...

After, i dunno how many months, i've done it again, a piston engine powered aircraft

Now, how to fly it :

  1. Put the throttle up to 1% or as low as you can

  2. Pray that this doesnt already breaks the engine, if it does, reload and repeat step 1

  3. Great, you've done it, the engine should be turning now, you can now slowly go up to 90%

  4. Use the Vtol slider to adjust the propeller blades pitch

  5. Take off with only 40-50 mph

  6. To make your experience a little riskier, go to a 100% throttle for random engine malfunctions and explosions

Now have fun with it

    @QuiteInactiveWhiteBread if i recall correctly the whole piston engine contraption is on a rotator, letting it spin freely so the torque doesnt affect the plane. This design is quite old though and there are meanwhile more efficient piston engines

    If you want to control the way the prop turns before you start it, just use the wind

    It looks like you threw a fan and a plane together and called it a day @FlyingThings
