Auto Credit Based on JonathanElst's Aerobatics Glider, inspired by PlaneBoy3's glider
This is the FES version of the glider i posted yesterday.
FES means: Front Electric Sustainer. Gliders are equipped with an electric engine and propellers on the nose that fold back when the engine is off. FES is a more reliable than traditional engines, and if the engine wouldn't start you don't have any extra drag. This makes FES even safer. It's a relatively new technology and i really like the idea. I hope i get the chance to fly a glider with FES someday XD.
The real FES is only a sustainer, which means it can't take off , but this simpleplane version actually can take off .
VTOL= flaps
BRAKE= custom airbrakes
1= Detach take off wheels
2= brake parachute
