The Latest In Rubber Band Technology
Backstory
Made in China
Flight Controls
Pitch = Pitch
Roll = Roll
Yaw does not work, except for on the ground at low speeds
FireGuns = Toothpick Launchers
VTOL = Landing Flaps
AG2 = Navigation Lights
Landing and Takeoff
To takeoff the first time throttle all the way up and after 2-3 seconds activate AG1(Do not deactivate or else you will fall out of the sky). This will launch you all the way up into the air just like a rubber band would in real life. Gradually use pitch as needed to correct yourself and not nosedive into the ground. And then retract your gear when you feel comfortable.
Landing is much more simple, deactivate throttle completely, and hit AG3, and extend landing gear, this will activate a gyro and let you float safely down to the ground, just like a little piece of styrofoam. Once on the ground you can then deactivate AG3 to fly again if you want.
For any more takeoffs besides the first, hold down pitch and place throttle to 9-11 percent. Keep in mind AG1 has to be activated to fly. After in the air you can retract your wheels again and take to the skies.

Don't lie, we all were addicted to playing with this when we were a kid...
@Ryn176 had to weigh it down at the front to make if fly right, is a giant scale
Aahhhhh... i used to purchase these things, they were usually sold near my school, and as far as i remember, i got a Zero like plane and a P-51 like plane, also i have added this to my favorite
(Edit: How can it be so heavy?!)

@FGW2014 Most of my toys are made in China.
@ThePilotDude @danman12 thanks guys
You know, I actually had a rubber band plane that looked nearly identical to this (well, I also believe I had a rubber band plane that flew underwater, so I may just be delusional) Anyways, great plane!
Childhood memories right here😂😥😂😂
