Pedal Plane

450 RadioSparks  3.2 years ago

Ever seen one of those pedal powered planes for kids and wanted to ride in it? Well now you can and it flies!

Due to the cartoonish proportions, takeoff is hard so I created a takeoff mode that automatically engages and disengages and it reduces the maximum throttle to 30% so it doesn't flip over.
