I decided to try something different this time, I'd like to thank LYSjason for his cool realistic cockpit style RC plane that inspired me to do this. This was just a quick and easy project for me, so it's not all that geat. Flying it can be a bit hard, especially if you have a small device like a do-- it makes it pretty hard to see the tiny plane off in the distance. DIRECTIONS: 1. Hit AcG 1 to release the plane. 2 throttle up and lift off after a few seconds, you can't see speed. Slide VTOL to spin the remote control around, it's best in cockpit view. Have fun!

I'm not sure if it still works with all of the updates, it took advantage of a glitch that used to be on the game, I haven't played in months @Irobert55

Pretty good! But I still feel my design is more interesting. I like the turer one.

Not currently... I'm taking a little break but when I come back to building I'll be putting out at least one plane a day.... Not always my amazing replicas tho... I might feature some planes that lower Lvls have built or just a fun plane I made@ElijtheGeat

@ElijtheGeat Nope, I can't get it to work. The plane just goes down the runway and veers off either direction every time. That's a shame... :-\

For me it takes about 8 to 10 seconds to take off, and the whole assembly does move slightly for me. you could probably fix that by taking off the air intakes surrounding the stick, although that would ruin the looks a bit @TheLatentImage

@ElijtheGeat No, it isn't too big. It runs smoothly on high. The plane just doesn't lift off. And on high the whole controller assembly moves a little bit when I use the right stick.
