Grandeur Guide

4,320 Lixcuudis  4.2 years ago

Info:
Grandeur's entry into the civilian market, the Guide is a general aviation and trainer aircraft made to give new pilots a safe experience in learning to fly. The trainer was originally converted in 1922 from retired G.Standards (reconnaissance and fighter aircraft) from the Great War. Being that this is an aircraft made to introduce people to flying, all the controls are standard and simple.

Basic Statistics:
Top Speed - 140mph/122knts (at 2,500ft) to 153mph/131knts (at 10,000ft)
Stall/Takeoff Speed - 32mph/28knts

WARNING: [1] Try to use medium physics if you can, as the landing gear acts a bit odd when lower then that. [2] This plane is, for some odd reason, extremely hydrophobic. Don't let it near water under any circumstance, even in an emergency. You have been warned.

    @Lixcuudis okai, do you mind if I actually modify the build to fly well? or do I just tell you what to do?

    @rexrexThezion Sorry for tagging you here. I just wanted to ask you something, and the comments here aren't too crowded. Since I don't want to get this wrong again, do you think you could do a 'flight test' of one the builds I'm working on to see if the flight characteristics are accurate? I fined tuned the build to the best of my abilities, but I'm not entirely sure if it's spot on or way off. Thank you for reading this, and sorry if I wasted your time. You'll be credited for flight testing as well, when it gets posted.
