The Jello Aircraft Corporation Monoplane Mk.1 was J.A.C.’s first attempt at a monoplane design. It was first flown in 1911, and quickly became a favorite of pilots due to having relatively docile handling characteristics for the time while remaining fairly maneuverable. It earned the moniker “Basket Case” due to its open frame structure and the tricky takeoff roll. For takeoff, increase power to 100%. The tail will come up at 45 mph, and the plane can be lifted off into a gentle climb at 50 mph. For climb and cruise, it is recommended to leave the throttle at 100%, though you can throttle back some if you see fit. Landing is pretty much foolproof due to the front guide wheel. Quick shoutout to @Hyattorama for help with some parts which required xml modding and for helping with the cockpit controls. As always, feel free to give feedback and constructive criticism!
Edit: Wow front page! Thank you guys so much! :)

Thanks! @SakuraSaku
great design!
Thanks! @MlgNoob
Very good! 👍🔝😀
I suppose. It really didn’t take me very long but it was certainly tedious! @CustomAircraftMods
My gosh that’s a lot of struts. You have some determination I’ll tell ya.
Thanks! I tried to be as inventive as possible. @Fishy26
Evrything about this plane is so creative...good job
Thanks! @OndrejNedoma
Amazing good job!
Thanks! @DPSAircraftManufacturer
Thanks! I’m thinking of building one of George Cayley’s gliders right now. @PlanesOfOld
Yeah... that may not be the best position for the fuel tank :)@CursedFlames
@JelloAircraftCorporation No problem, If you ever need any help with these early-birds just let me know.
I love it!
I would be concerned about the fuel tank leaking all over the pilot though...
Thanks! I guess you’re kind of the expert on early aviation around here so it means a lot! @PlanesOfOld
Thanks! It is! @ThePrototype
Very nice. I love it.
Early aviation is the best
Thanks man! @Hyattorama
It turned out awesome man!! Good job on all the cables, they look perfect! All around this is a really nice build. Looks great, flies great, it’s noticeable that you took your time, and it paid off. I love it, fantastic job!
