It's wasn't the designs, just the engines held them back. So designed were often underpowered. Give the French a large amount of resources and they could design a masterpiece. On of their fighters had a 700hp engine yet it could keep up and out manuver a 109 @Jfalix
Avion III had controls. It just he was only able to fly it once. But then again it didn't help he had hand cranks to control the plane, it made it basically incontrollabe due to the slow nature of the hand cranks. Also the controls are viable but only effective if activated quickly: @ThePilotDude
I agree with James, leave it up so your account won't be forgotten
Goodbye :(
Solar power is the future :)
I'm gonna do this again XD, just kidding this is downright dangerous
I kinda proved it was fake XD
Thanks :) @Spectre2520
Ok @AtlasSP
I know :) I was just joking @Onedream
I will :) @ACEPILOT109
Thank you :) @ACEPILOT109
3131 mph is the maximum velocity I believe, I had done some testing a while back.
Im gonna try this at home
Very.... very quick @BoganBoganTheMan
I want one IRL
If you have enough thrust you can make anything fly as long as it generates some lift @ACEPILOT109
It has a tail so that generates some lift and the force of the engine is pulling the nose up some thus it is able to fly
Did you see my comment about how it flys? @ACEPILOT109
Hmmm, tomorrow or the day after @Theboss313
The Center of thrust is under the center of gravity thus pulling the nose up and making the craft able to fly :)
Does it have a gyro?
Does it have a gyroscope?
Sure :) @IzzyIA

@haogejiuhaoge1 thanks, how did you become so good at building mechanical things?
Will the Ruhrstahls be controllable?
Yes @TheDestroyer818
Are you an actual engineer?
Lol @LiamW
anytime :) @RailfanEthan
"Sprite watermelon"
This is a work of art.... I'm absolutely stunned by it. Keep up the good work!
Oof
You added one part......
I see a lot of universal joints :)
How did you brick your phone?
:)
I figured it was :) @WarHawk95
All movable tail for trim?
That is beautiful!
I need to stop delaying this and make it work.... this has even going on for like 2 months now @jamesPLANESii
@Theboss313 thanks for the upvotes :)
Congratulations, welcome to the gold club!
German engineering used in this design, data from the Arado company used in the design. Very nice :)

Yes, but they stuck to the same basic design which hindered them, a year later the French were well past them :) @Jfalix
Would you like a link? The controls were also the same on the Ader Éole as well @ThePilotDude
Ader had a method of rolling, yawing and pitching the plane, but they were just too slow due to the hand cranks. @ThePilotDude

At least we can agree on that, it was a marvel of engineering. But I don't think the question of who flew first will ever be answered.... @Chancey21
