Flycycle 2 is an updated version of my human powered aircraft for Simpleplanes 1.11.
Now you can pedal through the air without the annoying rotator sound!
It not only looks somewhat like a human powered aircraft but also behaves like one.
It is very slow, can only be controlled through yaw and pitch and has just enough “muscle” power to stay in the air. It also tends to lean to one side.
BTW: the Propeller really does drive the airplane; there are no jets or gyros involved!
How to fly:
THROTTLE to start pedaling,
PITCH for pitch,
YAW for yaw.
TRIM to trim the Flycycle.
When you get tired, you can always glide back down without pedaling!
Have fun…
