XF-4-A Scorpion

7,203 Xogo  8.5 years ago

This plane is based off a lego plane I built about a year ago. As such, it's full of problems. The most noticeable is the wing positioning - they're clearly much lower that they should be (Can be felt while rolling), so I tried to remedy that by adding ailerons to the much higher tail surface. It didn't really work, and creates some weird movements at full pitch, but it's better than nothing. It also has massive auto-pitch changes with speed (It's level at about 550 mph, but keeps pitching either up or down otherwise. Looks cool though. Rockets on 1.
