Sparrow DX-12 (reconnaissance aircraft)

165 Akshay25  8.9 years ago

The Sparrow DX-12, is an experimental German recon aircraft. Which begun undercover development in the mid 1960s, the craft has undergone a huge amount of engineering ( hours of my time ;) haha) The slim and unique structure gives it the ability to be modified and taken further than this original form. It features a pretty cool satellite disk, which rotates throughout the flight freely. Its pretty stable, and a really fun plane in my opinion. have fun!! :)

*issue with tendency to fall backwards when grounded: just brake, using the air brakes and plane should position itself to normal
