SP-70 WIP(Help Fix This Plane?)

566 Knight  6.9 years ago

I've been working on this thing on and off for a little while now and I just can't get it to fly right. The problem with this plane is that it spins out like a disc super easily and I've never had it happen before so I dunno how to fix it, backflipping planes sure but spinning is new to me. I'm offering it up to the community to see if someone else can get it to work or atleast get something out of it. Good luck and hope you don't get too annoyed if you try to get it working

    @BurkeEnterprise Thank you again, I just tried it out and it flew lovely. Those wheels on the front always bugged me to no end so seeing those away with, it looks so much nicer.

    @BurkeEnterprise If you could get this thing off the ground quicker that'd be fantastic

    Also, I noticed the plane tends to stick to the runway. Do you need help with that?

    This is an easy fix. You need a bigger vertical stabilizer. If your plane is sliding around or flat spinning, it's because your vertical stabilizer is not big enough to support the aircraft.
