PQ-12 B&E HEAVY CARGO (NEW!!! stiffer wings)

4,532 Pauciloquent  9.3 years ago

*This version has stiffer wings, they still flex a lot but not as bad as before.*

This is the biggest plane I have made, it is inspired by the antonov 124.

It took a lot of work to get it to fly somewhat good (4 main wing and 3 horizontal/vertical wing designs),
but sadly it still has an slight roll to the right (now left, but better) in level flight (sorry about that),
the autopilot still works... it just needs a little time to get it straight.

It is slow, heavy and doesn't maneuver that fast so keep that in mind when flying.

CONTROLS:

Flight controls: normal controls for roll,pitch and yaw.

Engine controls: Group 1 for forward engines and group 2 for reverse engines


NOTES:

The reverse engines are for taxi use only too weak for brakes.

At takeoff rotate/pitch up at 140mph and the plane is airborne at about 190mph.

Landing speed starts at about 250-275mph on final approach and steadily slow down to about 170-190mph.


HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND HAVE FUN...
