Westland-Hill Pterodactyl Mk V (Biplane Challenge)

2,357 STT1  5.9 years ago
Auto Credit Based on STT1's Pterodactyl

This one was really hard to get right. Landing is pretty hard, but take-off should be pretty smooth. Also, yes, this thing existed. It was an experimental tail-less fighter designed in the 30s, and clearly it wasn't successful.
Controls are pretty much the same as any other basic aircraft in SP.

Note: This is the actual challenge entry, it has been balanced and tested.
