Auto Credit Based on EternalDarkness's General Aviation Challenge [CLOSED]
Description
The Ring Wing MK.1 is my rendition of the Narushevich Ring Wing experimental aircraft. This type of wing, also known as a closed wing or annular wing, eliminates wingtip vortices, making the aircraft very efficient. As this is only experimental, I didn’t put very much fuel in it to keep it realistic. It’s also my push to gold aircraft!! Have fun!
Also available in these liveries:

Note:
Yes, I’m very aware mine looks like a clownfish.

@DanDaFreakinMan Yeah I decreased the brake torque on a revamped version. I'm considering reposting it because the brakes are so bad.
Looks so wonky lol Flies really good though! Almost a STAL. Weird landing BTW. Just breathed on the brake pedal and the whole thing did a front flip!
Oh@asteroidbook345
Very good model! I wonder what this aircraft was made for in real life though.@asteroidbook345
@asteroidbook345 ohh okay. That sounds cool!
@asteroidbook345 that sounds kind of cool but you want to upload your own plane as an entry?
@asteroidbook345 that’s a good idea. I’ll take a look at his builds for examples
@asteroidbook345 yes that is slightly challenging but with a bit of tinkering, it’s not too hard I think
@asteroidbook345 CCS always seems difficult at first but I don’t know why I didn’t start making them ages ago. They’re actually pretty simple to make. I always try to encourage new players to make them so they get into the habit of it early hahaha
@asteroidbook345 they definitely do catch the eye. Everyone likes the weird planes that look different but still fly decently well
This is so cool! I love planes which are mostly normal and then have either weird wings or engines. Very nicely made too!
Hard to believe this wing configuration actually exists. It is crazy , but cool looking at the same time. Nice job!
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck Well then don't look at it, only real simpleplanes players can see its true beauty
Wow it flies well! scrolls down HOLY CRAP THIS THING IS REAL??!! REEEEEE!
@asteroidbook345 you're welcome
I freaking love this thing
Np@asteroidbook345
30th upvote!
@asteroidbook345
Now it works!
Ok
@asteroidbook345
Why can’t I find any real images of this thing?
Thanks for the entry.
