Hansa-Brandenburg W.29

1,080 UTSL  3.8 years ago

A not very precise replica. Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 is a German seaplane used in WWI, its production began in April 1918.
I learned about this model of airplane through plastic model kitset produce by Wingnut Wings, but the price is too high for me, so I decide to make one myself.

Pilot manual

This is a seaplane so make sure you're on the water

Take off

Pull down TRIM; Pull up throttle; Pull down pitch when you reach 100mph

Landing

Touch the water when your speed below 120mph, this little blue bird is very easy to land.

Using your self defense machine gun

Swich to camera 2
First de-active AG 8, this will temporarily freeze your control of the plane and the front machine guns;
Then active AG 2, now you can use Pitch/Roll to aim, and fire your gun. It will active a gyroscope too, to keep your plane fly smoothly when you busily protect your tail.

Modify advice

This plane is powered by a jet engine installed directly behind the propeller, increase its powerMultiplier if you think it doesn't fast enough.
Remove those ornaments if you feel lagging.

Nagging time

The number and symbols is not historical.
I love using self-defense MGs to shooting down enemy planes in dogfight mode (it's partly because I find it is hard to play a real dogfight when using a mobile phone), but it's annoying when accidentally blow up my own tail. At that time, this plane caught my attention.
YES! A perfect plane without tail (no it has) !
So I put my heart into building and.....find out that disable guns part collision can also solve my problem......
I get a new toy anyway, hope you like it too.

    I was going to buy a kit too, @wonkapilot, and @UTSL, I agree, it is really sad. The assets like the moulds and stuff are going to be sold off, so perhaps you could see which mould goes to which company.

    @AWESOMENESS360 My fault. Very simple introduction added. It's basically a un-famous seaplane design using during WWI. (At least the toy maker say so XD)
