267 WestTXfun  7.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's Bush Plane

Low drag, high lift sailplane for the Going the Distance badge. XML mods to the wheels, cockpit, and engine. Extra large vertical stabilizer to help keep it from drifting off course. Once the speed slows, crank in trim to increase lift. Elevators on the wings act like flaps to increase lift.
