Flyer 2

8,002 hardy57  2.7 years ago

Here is another attempt at early aviation.
Like the Flyer this plane is a bit tricky to fly, but it is faster and climbs better.
All the control surfaces are moved by the two hinge rotators that move the steering stick and the rotator that turns the pedals.
How to fly:
AG2 to open the fuel valves, AG3 to open the reserve fuel valves.
Now the plane can be operated like any other plane.
VTOL and TRIM allow you to fine tune the movements of the stick for easier straight flight.
AG4 and AG5 turn off the left or right engine to simulate engine failure.
The plane tends to turn right when taxiing, don’t know why.
