"Dave" Daredevil entry

I had a much prettier more complex entrant lined up - but this is the last version that reliably finishes the course.
Roll is achieved by rotating both sides of the craft - leaving more control surface for pitch.
I will release a shiner "Dave" at a later date.

@Kimo would love that
This makes sence! My too! Lets Chat once the next tournament is open, maybe we could help one each other
@Kimo the "dolphin" effect.... I think it's because the AI does full everything. When you fly your self you don't always give it full pitch/roll. I think the AI does.
And every time I try to make a simple plane - but it just gets mad. Next time I promise it's gonna be basic.......honest.
The next Time I'll try an other approach@ahappyape
You are Right on that. Plus there is a pitch problem with The ai. Even a good balanced plane is getting very Floppy with The ai constantly overcorrecting the pitch@ahappyape
@Kimo I literally do not possess the knowledge to make a craft that definitely won't crash. The AI is waaay too unpredictable. Hell sometimes it looks like it aims the plane at an obstacle - then takes 0 avoiding action :-D.
110 is a good time!
No he wasnt! First of all you have to See The checkered with 100% reliability, than you can put your Foot on The Throttle. He just did better than The Rest. Including myself. I did even worse๐ it was capable of 1:10s but seemingly not enough reliability. Net Time ....@ahappyape
@Kimo yeah I saw. The craft that won did so by default all near enough every match! JShay was robbed!
How did you do?
Not only yours! All other fast builds did too! The winning build only finished two runs with about 2:00. It won all other runs by his Opponent crashing. Jundroos PC was drunk๐๐
@Kimo not only that - turns out it's crashy on jundroos PC!
Cool plane!
Not only fast, but good looking
Cool plane man
@realluochen9999 thanks!
Nice plane and painting!
