Erc90F4RU's Glider [Platinum Edition]

Auto Credit Based on Erc90F4RU's A glider that i built in few minutes


After 3 months of continuous studying, my end-of-year exams are finally over. So I'm back to posting (yay!).

Let's keep this short and sweet, since I have no ideas for a lore at this point of time.


Backstory

If you've been on the site last month, you should have seen this:

Yeah, the usual happened, a low-effort build gets tons of upvotes and users start whining about why it gets more points than their own airplanes.

Anyways, while many others saw this glider as a complete joke, I saw the potential in the glider's box-wing design (since I find joined wings interesting). Upon testing, I found out that it actually flies well, something that even high-part replicas fail to do on some occasions. Considering that the glider was built in several minutes, this is impressive on another level.

So, I set out to make a proper version of the glider, to give it the love it deserves. Also, Erc told me on Discord that he really wanted someone to remake his glider, since he felt kinda bad that it got so many upvotes, and he would, quote, give so many upvotes and spotlights.
(Update: I did get those upvotes lol)

4 days later, here I am.

Shoutout to TheGliderGuy as I learnt how to build gliders from studying his crafts, and to the AAS and FS Pilots Discord servers for supporting me along the way!


Features

  • Fuselage wings
  • Airbrakes and lights
  • Tiny details on exterior (rivets, decals, etc)
  • Highly detailed cockpit interior (with drippy seat lol)
  • Openable canopy
  • Retractable landing gear, with landing gear bays (first time making them lol)

    This is just so satisfying

That's all I have for now. Goodnight!
