Paraplane

It's a plane that uses a self supporting airfoil to fly. The throttle should be treated as pitch, you cruise at around 20% throttle. VTOL is kinda like an additional pitch and trim, use this sparingly or you might collaspe the chute. turn by banking using roll, yaw, VTOL, and increasing throttle. AG-1 is for a gyro, use this when landing. Have fun!

    @KnightOfRen It's both subjective and objective.

    Looks very interesting, but not weirdly interesting per your usual builds. Flies alright, I really like the concept. I saw a lot of variations of successors of this thing. I'll give them a try eventually.

    @KnightOfRen expect it's been done before, and it's the kind of thing that is funny once.

    @MethaManAerospace try giving it airbrakes on the ends of the chute hooked up to yaw, so the thing has actual yaw.

    @FishMiner It's great! I've been thinking about how to do it for a while, but never did anything...
    I might do a hang glider challenge for rigid, semi rigid and paragliders... (bonus points for paragliders ;) )

    @MethaManAerospace yeah, it could definitely be improved given I built this in a couple hours max.
