RETRAC-Retractable Wing Vehicles

303 TheShrinkRay  7.9 years ago

The first working version of my retractable wing plane from earlier. It features: Piston retractable wings, folding wings, folding wheels, among other features. It's pretty hard to control and is prone to falling apart Mid-flight. The controls are pretty complicated. They are: 1+VTOL to extend/retract the wings, 2+VTOL to fold the wings. (3 does nothing). 4+throttle to drive, and yaw to turn. 5+VTOL to fold the wheels. Those are all the controls. The RETRAC design is comepletely my own. You may use the parts as long as you give credit. Please upvote and comment if you like it and want more! THANKS!! CIAO!
