Auto Credit Based on MetalManiac54's [CLOSED] DESIGNS WANTED (basically a challenge)
Welcome.
This glider was built for the high wing aircraft callange, the basic design is a bit older and I’m playing with the thought of building it myself....but I don’t know yet.
This design looks very simple, but it took my multiple approaches to get it right and the part limitation was a real obstacle - but I’m very happy with the end result, once you know the plane you can glide far dictances.
How to fly
-landing gear for landing gear
-VTOL for flaps
-trim to trim (use it!)
-you can use the brake, it won’t flip over :)
Here’s a tip for flying, use the rudder!
