Micro-Plane

15 Roxas  7.6 years ago

The smallest plane on simple planes that can take-off, land, fly, glide, and fight, just like a fully functional plane.
However, it has a very awkward way of taking off, and landing, and is prone to exploding with even 1 bullet...

How to take off: Gain speed until 165+mph, and press 1 to take off.
How to land: Get close to land, with engines off, and press 2 to activate the parashute. THIS IS REALLY HARD!!!

also: the turning is really awkward without a joystick. (even though that is relevant for every plane because of the jolt back to neutral, but it is REALLY apparent with this one.

Leave me some feedback to let me know how to improve this plane!

    @Roxas The propeller engine actually is impressive. The smalest is rated 250hp but if your plane is small that is enough, just make sure the propeller is big enough to reach fuel efficiency.
    Small things are also quite nimble.

    Yeah but then I got my hand on the old tiny propeller engines...
    Tinkering around...

    I was also trying to create the smallest plane, but mine was bigger, use little fuel (1 gallon for roughly 10,000 ft) and is extremenly mobile.

    Under the name "Tiny"
