Hi everyone!! (yeah you listen up this is important). Sorry I've been away for a while due to beta errors and bugs for simpleplanes in which I recommend if you want better graphics. Sadly I've decided to stay away from folding planes to let that burnt out patch of creativity have its only day off so I made a very agile and fast plane for ya. INSTRUCTIONS: put throttle at 100% and when the plane just barely pulls off the ground pull up slightly and slide the VTOL bar all the way up and have fun. FLYING NOTES: due to me making this one on the beta some things didn't work out so it may spin at higher speeds and the nose should go up after about 1500mph and it can hold stable stunt speeds at 2000+mph and be gentle at making it go down cause itl explode. and as always have a good one and all the best in this giant world :D . P.S. some of my aircraft have musical terms that refer to the performance and why I built it so search it up!!!

    @ODST627 I've made a few planes with rotators for control surfaces. Have a fly in my ascalon - prime example. I find that if you get it right , you can get some really nice results. And also its stronger than normal wing sections. But getting it right can be tricky!

    @ahappyape glad you liked it. But the reason for the delay on folding planes is that I'd like to get a refresher on aero ideas and how to make a maneuverable plane without compromising the original design and also that's another reason to as why I use rotators instead of control surfaces :D

    Original as always. Sorry to hear the folding planes are taking a back shelf - this more than makes up for it. Flies really nice.
