The most fun you can possibly have in VR without weapons!
Flying one of these is about the most pure you can get in terms of flying.
This may not have as much detail as a usual one of my builds since I made it for the VR challenge, but I'm still really proud of how it turned out! Especially happy with the level of detail for the part count! Quite a lot of trickery was done to do this :D
Stuff
- Takeoff is about 20 kts
- Top speed is about 50 kts
- The switch on the panel turns the engine on/off (Activate8)
- The throttle is next to your left butt cheek
- Right rudder is needed on takeoff due to asymmetric prop wash spinney air simulation
- There's a tiny yellow block just above the pilots seat that can be used to change the pilots mass (currently 150lbs)
Look at these pictures (wow)
See look? I can build low part count things!
Enjoy!

It’s impressive how you managed to pack so much functionality into a build with a low part count—especially with clever tricks to simulate realistic behavior.
@AshdenpawTG22 I had to do that to make the engine response faster. Otherwise with a design this light and this low power, the engine took like 10 seconds ds to spool up and was really annoying to fly.
It doesn't actually have that much power. The max input is limited so it's realistic.
1837.568 power/weight ratio what
@ChamDel78 makes zero aviation sense but alright.
@crusaderwingman eyo thanks :D
im the 220th upvote (real)
@MobileBuilder21 Thanks lol. This is a real plane too :D
Good 10/10
Bro be like, yo want to fly in a paper clip witca' ruler as a wing and a upside down jezus statue for a rear stabler? 💀💀💀
@jamesPLANESii i mean... Your crafts are still curated so...
@jamesPLANESii loudest i’ve ever screamed in landing ever. Actually rage quited when my life flashed before my eyes. VR landings are more realistic than you think.
wow,coll!
@Perfect7 eyy thanks for 200!
holy damn I've got almost 5000 points from this thing lol
Ima weaponise dis
STOL?
@Reworkable Nah, it's a replica! :)
@JamesPLANESii this looks very similar to @Hyattorama’s ultralight craft called 103 solo as well… did you guys collab or something? Not accusing you of anything, just curious :D
If you want trim, just replace the input of the elevator with: Pitch + Trim*0.5
@brentisaac22 Add right rudder to keep it straight
Cant take off due to spinning left after moving throttle up
Wut
@Oculite1 I'm glad you like it! :)
Still loving this ultralight in VR :)
