XFLR-02 (Goss-15 “Trident”)

136k RAF1  7.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on RAF1's Goss 15 "Trident"

I have completely rebuilt the Trident, but this time to my Grandad’s original specifications. Trim up is rotor tilt. For takeoff, use 80% power @90 degrees rotor tilt. To cruise, 100% power @45~50 degrees rotor tilt... Enjoy!

    Nice upgrade from the previous plane. However still no limiter on the engine travel, meaning you can crash it k to your own fuselage if you're not carefully and pull Trim too far down. Also for my taste it relies too much on the gyro with for instance roll and yaw not even possible by areodynamical means (ailerons and rudders are for show only). Still visually a feast to behold

    “Around the size of the TSR-2, with a speed of around 500kph”... he also made a sketch. The earlier Goss-15 I built was done to my own sketch, this one is done to his.
