MF-9-D Swanhead V

7,203 Xogo  8.1 years ago

WARNING: The airplane will take off on its own. If you use only keyboard, then do not toutch the controls until it does. Also, you must be gentle when below 450mph. I'm still working out the stability issues with this versoin of the swanhead (the V model) - I'm thinking I'll probably extend the back on the next one. Other than that, this one has improved roll, and a redesigned cockpit and tailplane. As well as airbrakes, since I finally remembered to add them.

    @RedFalcon Thanks! I'm really glad I didn't end up giving up on this thing, this plane's practically a part of me at this point. (what, after 5 different models and countless variants)
