Yakovlev YAK-1

10.5k Brencool35  4.2 years ago

This is my replica of a Yakolev YAK-1. This plane comes with a detailed cockpit, a two-tone winter camoflage, custom landing gear, and custom rudder and elevators. This one took a while to get right, I hope it was worth it! Enjoy!

    Approach speed for landing should be around 90 MPH and the landing speed is around 75 mph. Use Maximum trim when landing and mouse control is recommended. This aircraft is ment to be stalled into landing.

    I'd recommend to turn the damper up on the shocks to make it less bouncy on landing.

    You can tag me in all the builds you want since you put effort in all of them and they’re all unique! I do think the wing tips are slightly too long and pointy here and the area behind the cockpit isn’t integrated smoothly enough into the aeroplane. Overall though I do like the general shape, cockpit, and colour. Nice job my friend!
