The Pietenpol Air Camper is a simple parasol wing homebuilt aircraft designed by Bernard Pietenpol. Who first built the aircraft after crashing his homebuilt motorcycle and decided there’s a better way to travel. His first prototype was finished in 1828, and was called the sky scout. Its powerplant was a converted Ford Model A engine, with a top speed of 100mph. Editors Notes Don’t brake too hard or you’ll flip over. She flys at about 180mph.

Ok, that didn’t show up in testing. Thanks fo letting me know!
This looks great but you need to fix the elevation. One moment you’re going straight then you tilt the plane a little bit then you’re going into a death spiral.
