This is my replica of the Twin II. It's very stable and nice to fly, just like a real Twin Astir.
VTOL: slide back to retract engine, When deploying: don't slide it further forward than the middle marker.
Trim: normal trim, I recommend to put it all the way back when using the engine.
After posting this i realised that forgot something: the drag is quite high. you can easily fix this by disabling drag on the outer wing part. you''ll see it flies much better XD

And to you too!@JonathanElst
@PlaneBoy3 Thank you, I wish you the best of luck!
Nice! And I think in the U.S. you can solo at 14 but they recommend to start flying at 12-13 so that may be me soon. Congratulations on your license. @JonathanElst
@PlaneBoy3 Wow that's great! In most countries you can start gliding from 14 years. That's when i started and i was flying solo in half a year, and now i'm 16 and i just got my license last month.
No, sadly I am underage although I plan to become one as my current future career is to be an aircraft designer. And I thought if I were to design stuff, I should learn the basics. Thanks for asking! @JonathanElst
@PlaneBoy3 are you a glider pilot yourself?
I’m a huge fan of sailplanes and this is the best one I’ve seen so far, nice work.
Awsome
