Davinci inspired flight.

4,239 Jbr82  8.7 years ago

I really had fun, building this one. ??

I saw an old sketch of a wing contruction drawed by Leonardo Davinci and then decided to make a tribute build in his highly intelligent honor!

Talk about being to early! He really had figured out the basic essens of flight, but he died before he ever got to test any of it. A plane aint all he sketched down in details. He also drawed a type of tank and a wierd looking "helicopter" type of thingy, witch was ment to "corkscrew" its way into the air! One of the smartest people ever to have lived in my opinion.?? My fictive Davinci plane actually has good flying caracteristics, despite the obvious drag points. It takes of with ease, and the landing angle is really sweet.... ONE THING THOUGH?? AFTER touchdown then SLOWLY brake the plane. If you use 100% brakes it will flip forwards and destroy the engine! Consider this your warning! At ease Gentlemen, AND DONT FORGET, to tell me your opinion on my flight, so i can better myself even further. The upvotes is up to you.??

    Stability was high, so it could land on uss tiny. :)
    I failed a little.
    It's cool and is a high-performance airplane.
