Auto Credit Based on BananaBoat33's FINISHED Micro Plane Challenge

Entry to the Micro Plane challenge. Max weight of 1998lbs. Open cockpit design. My first aircraft with a moving control stick, seat and the beginnings of a cockpit. Designed to be flown with the tail trim set fully back (VTOL down) to counteract the high thrust line over the CoG. Use the elevator trim on the right hand side of the screen to fine tune pitch in flight. Takes off at around 75mph and should be landed at the same speed. Fly atleast 85mph on approach to allow enough energy to flare. She's a slow flyer so take in the sights as you potter lazily around the sky. Is capable of gentle aerobatics if you can fly efficiently.
