Simple Biplane

120 CDGWave  4.5 years ago

My first creation from scratch! It is really bad and would appreciate it if a good builder could make it fly well for me. It can takeoff but flies like a brick, which is why it is equipped with 2 parachutes (both group 1). As a matter of fact it flies so badly that I have NEVER landed it. If you accept the challenge of making this brick fly properly, be my guest and make sure to notify me if you succeed.

To takeoff, use 50% throttle and pull up when the back wheel comes up.
