Curve Wing -exp

2,284 Mickk  5.8 years ago

This aircraft has a big, curved wing.
It flies surprisingly well.
For an even bigger surprise, take off all the white junk on the wings, except for the part on the very end.
The wheels need somewhere to attach.
Once you do that you will need to retrim the aircraft. ;)

XML used.
All wing cladding made very light.
Forgot about switching off the drag though, which has caused a huge performance hit.
Nose wheel, nose cone is twice as heavy as it should be and a fuel tank. You will run out of fuel though.

Controls as per normal. Likes to fly up, but all that means is you won't get wet if you have to pay attention to something else.
A brace of Heavy Machine Guns on either wing, just like the Spitfire.
I'm starting to like them a LOT more than the Minigun.
