Sounds good, thanks! @SledDriver
@F4f879 Try reducing the size of the control surfaces so maneuvers are smoother.
Once the challenge ends, I'll post a tutorial showing how to build something that flies level. It only takes a few minutes :)
Lol that's true, but I don't have a steady enough hand to make it even aim level @SledDriver
@F4f879 You don't really need autopilot to build a level-flying plane -- the autopilot is just to have a standard way to level out each entry, to eliminate human error.
To simulate test conditions, you can take off from Wright, turn around and fly some distance, then turn around again to give yourself plenty of distance to the destroyer. Then you can manually level out your plane, and then release the controls as you pass the destroyer.
Thanks for the test! I wish autopilot was available on mobile @SledDriver
@F4f879 This one doesn't fly level even on autopilot -- it keeps losing altitude, and when autopilot is disengaged, it keeps going down and into the water rather quickly.
Awesome, I guess it needs more balancing then :) @Mostly
@F4f879 Takes a long time to take off/accelerate, at low altitudes, the aircraft drifts down at the slightest, but at higher altitudes, it's perfectly straight.
How did she do? @Mostly
@F4f879 hehe yes
@DarthAbhinav @Mostly would one of you gents kindly test this plane out?
@F4f879 yaaaay!!!
Lol yes, I've been a bit inactive lately. Don't worry, F6F and spitfire mk ix coming soon! @EpicPigster1
YAAAY YOU ARE STILL ALIVE!
