Single Engine Biplane

647 TuckerAeronauticalLabs  8.5 years ago

My first biplane! Normally I don't like building biplanes because they just don't look right to me without struts, which are really hard to make without xml modding, but my friend @SigmaTwelve made one about a month ago and he was bragging about it, so I finally got around to making one to beat his into the ground. It flies great, just hold the stick back when you hit the brakes on the ground to keep it from nosing over.
