I made this today in an attempt to procrastinate from studying for one of my final exams... which is in 2 days. Ruh Roh
In all seriousness, this is my submission to the STOL Challenge that @Apollo018362 created. I had a little gander at the wiki and tried my hand at one of the coolest wee guys there!
This is about the only photo I could reference properly, other than the wiki page that gave me some of the flight characteristics to try and replicate.
So please do forgive me for some of the details not being perfect haha!
Replicated Features
- 1:1 Scale
- Realistic take-off distance
- Great flight characteristics
- Nice slow cruise speed, varies with altitude
- A cool funny Marines livery lol
- Detailed cockpit
Controls
Throttleis just usual- there is nothing connected to the
AV Groupssince it's such a simple plane lol - Trim will trim the horizontal stabs, shouldn't really require it but it's there as a backup
Take-Off
- Throttle up and you should be able to take off around the quoted
300ftmark - keeping the pitch >10º will keep you in nice flight, and it will then hold a steady 600ft/min climb rate.
Landing
- Nothing special again, no flaps, no nothin'... just land as your heart desires
I honestly think that's about all there is to say about this wee thing.
I'm pretty proud of it, it's fairly dead on despite being built without blueprints, and it just looks cool to me.

@AirborneAutoNZ thanks mate,I really appreciate that!
Great plane, I was the first downloader according to the website, great performance and fun!
@BaconAircraft @MrSilverWolf @Vincent @Seeras @DeezDucks
Sorry to bother, could you help a guy out and make this a successor to Apollo’s STOL challenge…?
Thanks!!
@Apollo018362 gahh, whoopsie! I’ll tag a few now then and hope they can sort that soon!
And thanks!!
@SkyFly. Oh, you had to dowload the challenge and build the plane using the cockpit base of the challenge, so it would be linked. You can tag a mod to save this as a sucessor of my challenge, its because it must be a sucessor to be allowed, great plane!
@Apollo018362 I don't know how to link it to your challenge post lol, so I thought I'd just try and tag you :)
