Paraplane FM-2

26.5k FishMiner  3.4 years ago

Its a paraplane, but this time it has 3 engines and a very basic interior. This aircraft uses a self supporting parachute type thing to fly. This thing has 3 ways of pitching: throttle, VTOL, and tail surfaces. Using the throttle is by far the best way to pitch down. Rolling is best done by using both roll and yaw. once you're in the air make sure the parachute is unfolded correctly like in the picture, use roll to fix it if needed. Cruises at around 100 mph and at %25-30 throttle. Have fun.
