Auto Credit Based on TheGliderGuy's The Glider Challenge
As you can see, I have built a powered plane for a glider challenge... oh no.
It’s a good thing it is pulling a glider, right?
Controls:
Normal plane controls and trim for flaps
VTOL extends tow-line
AG-1 releases glider and activates it’s controls
Camera 1 orbits the tow plane
Instructions:
Extend the tow line and takeoff normally
Retract Gear
Fly to your destination smoothly without too abrupt of turns
Activate Group 1 to launch
Glider can land in water as well as on land
I’d recommend taking off from a runway, but it also works from the air.
Happy flying, errr uh “gliding”
