Simple Biplane

2,832 mregger  8.3 years ago

This is a simple biplane aircraft based off of the royal air factory S.E.5, and the Tiger Moth. It is very stable, and manouverable. It's stall speed is 50mph, best glide speed is 80mph, and top speed 150mph. Take off is very easy, it will literally take off on it's own, but landing is more tricky. The aircraft needs to approach the ground at pre-stall speed, and stall before touching the ground. Make sure it is piched up, and flying as slow as possible when landing. Feel free to modify, and enjoy!
