I present to you the PretendaSail P15 powered glider! It has a hidden engine so the idea is you fly around with about 5% thrust and it still feels like a sailplane but you can stay airborne longer! This was a pretty quick build since gliders are relatively simple even with a cockpit and mostly I was experimenting with Overload (pretty sure I have no idea what I’m doing haha). But the cockpit looks nice, simple, and with a great Artificial Horizon made by @Planedude (thanks and good job!). All flight controls are standard. No AG anything. VTOL is flaps, even though I dont think gliders have flaps...
Anyway, enjoy! Please let me know what you think :)
Also, stay tuned, as I will be presenting an unpowered version soon that is towed by the Cessnot 600! Woohoo!

Wow thanks man, that is really cool of you to say, I really appreciate it! And thank you for all the upvotes! I know you said you only upvote what you like, and not to consider it a favor, but still, it makes me feel really good so thank you! I’ve been working pretty darn hard on my builds in the last month. So receiving genuine recognition is really gratifying. @tylerdeveneuxmusic
I’ve had two featured planes; the Howard HPW and the Smokey 250. Is that a lot? I think I really lucked-out on both of them. @tylerdeveneuxmusic
Thank you! Haha it does kinda look like a pagani interior doesn’t it? That’s funny. Pagani sure has some pretty fantastic and beautiful interiors. @tylerdeveneuxmusic
Thanks to @Planedude for the great artificial horizon!
