GeeBee R-1
AG-1 door open/close
Other activation groups do nothing
The 1932 R-1 and its sister plane, the R-2, were the successors of the previous year's Thompson Trophy-winning Model Z.
Assistant Chief Engineer Howell "Pete" Miller and Zantford "Granny" Granville spent three days of wind tunnel testing at NYU with aeronautical engineering professor Alexander Klemin. The aircraft had a very peculiar design. Granville reasoned that a teardrop-shaped fuselage — especially as seen from directly above — would have lower drag than a straight-tapered one, so the fuselage was wider than the engine at its widest point (at the wing attachment point, (within the length of the wing chord). The cockpit was located very far aft, just in front of the vertical stabilizer, in order to give the racing pilot better vision while making crowded pylon turns.

Yep@ScorpionSpace
It’s supposed to be the smallest plane in the world, but it’s the size of an f-22
@MobileBoi737, if it is infronrt of the cg it will make the plane less stable....(Sry for my bad english)
Yeah@MobileBoi737
@Diloph well its simply too small to keep the plane straight
yet ... it flies straight i mean well the landing gear legs do kinda act as a stabiliser
What about the rudder?@MobileBoi737
this looks like a cofffin with wings
but it flies well
i still dont understand the rudder
I thought it was him@Diloph
Yee@CobraHueyIndustries
That’s Delmar Benjamin in the cockpit of the 3rd photo right?
?@ChamDel7
Interior?
( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)@Parehare
Oh uh...@Diloph
Yea?@Parehare
@Diloph
Yeah@OrangeCrush0912
No lmao@Parehare
Can you make a battle star galactica ship? @Diloph
Hm, idk if I can make that, I guess I’ll just keep it as a blueprint@OrangeCrush0912
@OrangeCrush0912 you didn’t want to be ,y tester?
@Diloph okay
Sure!@OrangeCrush0912
Ummm it’s called free cam mod and upload with screen shots@lilgreen06
@Diloph how did you put a screenshot for the first picture you see when you look at the plane
