the kitfox... Really nothing else to say
information
So as this is a relatively new aircraft i thought i would do something a bit different than my normal history section. So this aircraft was created in 2017 (from the article i read) and is a very good stol aircraft. Cargo capacity is also very good with 150lbs if extra cargo capacity. The landing speed and takeoff speed are relatively close, at around 37mph for the irl version. My version is about 10mph to fast but i took out as much weight as i could to help get it down but to no avail.
controls
Normal flight controls
VTOL down for flaps (flaps are inverted, but its because of the position of the CoM and CoL that i cant really move, but its still vtol down for the proper flaps)
flight tips and quirks
So i added this section as there are a few things that are needed for a good flight.
1. Make sure you have flaps, trim, and pitch to full on takeoff, and once it lifts off then drop flaps or you'll stall out the aircraft
2. Roll is a tiny bit slow but it still works, yaw does help
3. The stall speed is about 46mph, and takeoff is 50mph so again take off flaps when you lift off
4. So the way the game works suspension cant be pulled so im a bit screwed with how the suspension actually works so the suspension can break if the landing is hard enough
