Biplane (Carrier)

262 AnnaAndersdotter  1.5 years ago

This is an easy-flying biplane equipped with a gyro, a catapult connector, an arresting hook, and airbrakes. It has flaps controlled by VTOL input. It will hold near-level flight while climbing very slowly, and it cruises at about 200MPH at 50% throttle. It can do short landings and short takeoffs, both with and without the help of a catapult and arresting cable. The challenge landing this plane on USS Tiny is its wingspan. It can be done, but you have to line up carefully to avoid clipping the tower with your wing.
