Pretty Strange Craft

2,269 Mickk  5.0 years ago

The name describes the plane, it is a pretty strange craft indeed.

This is a near perfect example of what happens when I mess around in SimplePlanes, an odd wing structure, strange body and it still flies.... more or less.
It will take off from the ground, but I recommend an air launch.

Flies a little down.
Seems to be ok with autopilot....NOT.

Have a fly, have a laugh at the antics it gets up to if you leave it alone at a decent height.
It is not very stable at all, probably something to do with the circular wing.

You may have more success at getting off the ground if you pull off the very basic landing gear I made in an effort to learn how to do that.

They keep it off the ground when it is stationary at least >.<
The wing looks pretty too.

Controls as per normal.
