Tri-Motor

3,839 MEERKAT978  7.6 years ago

Not bad for something cobbled together in 70 minutes on a smartphone. Style based on the Ford Trimotor, hence the supporting struts. Has twin suspension in order to safely take the loaded weight of the craft. Takes off at around 150mph and its handling is good for an aircraft of this type. Cockpit view doesn't work so well as the view is obstructed by the forward engine. Have fun with this.

    @ShiptyCo haven't tested it yet but here's my solution.

    I already said that the front engine means that forward view is restricted @ShiptyCo however you could install a camera on top of the engine to solve that problem...
