PQ-12 B&E HEAVY CARGO (OLD VERSION)

4,532 Pauciloquent  8.8 years ago

**************************************************************
New version with stiffer wings [here](https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/LFpQsu/PQ-12-BE-HEAVY-CARGO-NEW-stiffer-wings) . . . hmm that didn't work . . . well you get the point.
**************************************************************

This is the biggest plane I have made, it is inspired by the antonov 124.

It took a lot of work to get it to fly somewhat good (4 main wing and 3 horizontal/vertical wing designs),
but sadly it still has an slight roll to the right in level flight (sorry about that),
the autopilot still works... it just needs a little time to get it straight.

It is slow, heavy and doesn't maneuver that fast so keep that in mind when flying.

CONTROLS:

Flight controls: normal controls for roll,pitch and yaw.

Engine controls: Group 1 for forward engines and group 2 for reverse engines


NOTES:

The reverse engines are for taxi use only too weak for brakes.

At takeoff rotate/pitch up at 140mph and the plane is airborne at about 190mph.

Landing speed starts at about 250-275mph on final approach and steadily slow down to about 170-190mph.


HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND HAVE FUN...
