Nice plane but is really hard to land
That was a little confusing but thanks! @Mathieson
@kingofcreepers Because I wanted them. I know they are not accurate, but I liked the idea of being able to taxi around on land. You can land the plane on them, but that was not my true intention for them.
why are there wheels?
@electronmember1 When you are going to land move the Vtol slider all the way down. Drop the throttle to 0-8% and let the plane touch the ground/water at around 80 Mph. when you do touch the water/land, pull up on the elevator as hard as you can, this should keep the nose of the plane up and prevent it from flipping. I find that reducing the throttle to zero and letting the plane glide down on its own is easiest. Practice makes perfect!
It's really hard to land the plane.
Whenever I touch water, or a runway, it just flips over.
Awesome! Ask if you need help@Mathieson
@TTHHSSSS I think I will. As soon as Ive saved up some money that is. I recently got my first car so any money ive got is going towards that at the moment.
@TheNightmare811 Thanks!
Very well made!
Do a army vehicle
Get into it! It's a steep learning curve, but kits help make knowing all the parts, names, how they work, and how do it all a bit more simple. There are a bunch of tutorials! Does take dedication though, but the end result is awesome! @Mathieson
@TTHHSSSS Nice! Ive always had an interest in FPV racing. I myself have a decent sized collection of RC vehicles. Several planes, a boat and three cars/trucks. No FPV vehicles though.
Yeah it's great! I already gave it an upvote @BaconAircraft
@Cedy117 I think you'll like this one!
Dam! (Turned to Sama for some reason...) I accidentally removed my upvote when I whent to upvote it! Lol!
Yup, it's homemade! For racing @Mathieson
@TTHHSSSS Thanks. If you dont mind me asking, is that your quadcopter in your profile picture?
@Mathieson :)
@NativeChief1492 No problem.
