7,120 Firgreen  2.7 years ago

This motorglider was inspired by the Pteranodon, a large flying dinosaur.

VERSION 2

No activation groups, just use throttle to speed up.
Roll, Pitch, Yawn and Trim work as usual.
For flying without losing altitude set trim to around 70% after retracting the landing gear.

Thanks to hardy57. He designed the instruments and make them fit in this tiny build.
