Novelty Act pt. 2: The Trainer (faster)

30.4k Hyattorama  6.3 years ago

This is the faster version of the same plane, The Trainer. Based on the MIT Daedalus human powered plane. This version is unrealistically fast, but potentially more fun to fly for some people. It is called that because it trains your endurance and also it looks like a trainer (tennis shoe/sneaker).

Flight instructions same as pt.1 version;
Flight controls standard
No AG controls
VTOL flaps
Trim for trim
Throttle to 100 and go.

When you throttle back to zero, the prop will reverse direction but still provide forward thrust. And it will continue spinning for as long as you had the throttle up. So plan accordingly if you want to land and come to rest.

Enjoy :)
