Thanks for downloading this Aircraft, I tried to make it as accurate to the game from gameplay footage I've watched

It's here! looking great too!
can i take a bite out of it?. Im hungry
Still on top of the highest rated guys.
Yes yes, this is cool and all. But
Who needs wings, when you have a Frisbee?
My pan cake is flying 🥞
lovely!
Needs Maple Syrup
I had a pancake for breakfast, but it definitely didn't look this cool! Bravo!
@L1nus I recommend playing
who even needs wings? 400mph pancake goes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
FLYYINNGGG PANCAKEE‼️‼️‼️
@L1nus No problem :D
The Pancake is certainly a fun design, glad to see WT gave it a tad bit of fame. Flight performance of yours overall was wonderful!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover okay but thanks for flying the pancake, i enjoyed making it despite never playing warthunder
@L1nus *Nearly impossible ingame. Not totally, but most circumstances won't result in it.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover also it's a proven fact the pancake could stall (Flat spin even), but yeah overall it performs it's best at higher speeds, flying wings need speed to be efficient lol
@TheUltimatePlaneLover what do you mean this thing can't stall?
this thing has zero energy retention IRL, my pancake can reach 50 AOA at low speeds so it's gonna be hard to make sharp turns at low speeds, also Warthunder model is inaccurate to the real thing, the real model never flew but it's speculated that it would fly more tighter and sharper at faster speeds due to momentum, this thing weighs as much as 4 empty Zeros
I made one a couple years ago.
👍👍
Aite, gave it a few good flights, it's very good! Just a couple things I want to say:
-It's nearly impossible to stall the Pancake in WT, but I'm not too worried about this one since the ~60 mph stall speed is more or less a fault of SP physics, at least on most planes.
-From my flights, this Pancake in SP turns slower at high speeds and faster at low speeds. In WT, it's reverse: similar to a delta wing, it turns nearly instantly at high speeds, but slowly at low speeds. Also worth noting: energy retention, the Pancake has never heard of it lol
Other than that, great Pancake! Looks and flies very well.
@SimplyElegant i wanted to make an early style Youtube video but make it feel kinda fun you know, The song i used for it is called Surfing Sufari which kinda gives that vibe
@L1nus ehhh…
It’s somewhat good.
Also, great video for SP2!!
@SimplyElegant You model is good too
