KE-176 -SAF- Trainer

2,845 KUBI  3.0 years ago

Introduction

After taking a break from simple planes ive decided to build another plane about a week ago. My goal was to make something thats better that my previous builds in as many ways as possible. I also used this build to learn some new stuff. The plane is a fictional jet that i wanted to look like a Trainer for the Swiss Air Force.
I hope you guys like the build and let me know what you think!

Controls

Standart Aircraft Controls

Ag1: Landing Lights
Ag2: Navigational lights
Ag3 : Lock/Unlock front wheel steering
TrimDown : Airbrake
VTOL down: Flaps

Things to note:

Be careful when taking off, because after some time it starts bouncing and it blows up so make sure to pitch up before that happens

When Taking off it goes a bit towards the Left. Correct this with the rudder
Its also a bit front heavy but i havent figured out how to add trim yet so you will have to correct it with the pitch.

    Looks beautiful - very nicely detailed!. Your next steps’ll probably making some better landing gear (try reducing brake torque, it’ll help with the spontaneous combustion)
