club base aircraft

1,865 Lucasmah  8.5 years ago

this is the base aircraft for tutorial one. Okay, so you have a basic understanding of planes. If you have 1hour or less of time flying, I advise you to fly until you have more than 1 hour. The red wings are the main wings, these provide lift for your aircraft. Moving these can be better for the aircraft or be worse, but experiment! Rule of thumb: main wings work better on the bottom, as shown here, rather than high up. Okay, the blue parts are the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The horizontal ones provide pitch, to push your airplane up or down, and help with turning, called banking. The vertical one keeps your aircraft stable, so it can fly straight. You must have one to fly your aircraft. The green parts are the body, not much special about them. The black part is your motor, whose blade count and design, can be changed. Horsepower defines speed, but also defines fuel consumption. The orange pats are landing gera, and they let you take off and land. The mostly white part is your cockpit, and it MUST BE ATTACHED to your plane for it to respond. Tutorial two will deal with wing specifics.
