Auto Credit Based on ThePrototype's Mechanical tenebris
This is my first craft to use only the rudder to turn. The craft is based off of Alberto Santos Dumont's 14-Bis. The craft first flew in 1906, it is sometimes credited as being the first powered aircraft to takeoff under its own power. This was due to the fact that the Wrights were very secret about their flights. The craft was fun to build, it was also quite refreshing. Controls are "Normal", and for takeoff you simply accelerate to 65mph and pull up just slightly due to the nature of the prop to strike the Earth. Be safe and have fun flying - ThePrototype
Also my mechanical creations will now have Latin names, Tenebris translates as "Darkness"

@SakuraSaku Thanks for all the upvotes dude.
No problem! This is really awesome @ThePrototype
@Mustang51 thanks man
@Minecraftpoweer This only turns with the rudder....
@DiveDin thanks for the upvote!!!!!
@Matimodel45 @LiamW @Strikefighter04
Thanks guys!!!!!
Thanks man, I appreciate the comment @Zyvx
Nice work on the historical look and the ingenuity of the works. Anyone who can turn a book shelf into a plane that flies this good is clever in my book. Lol
@ThePrototype both!
Old or mechanical? I would assume old @PlanesOfOld
@ThePrototype no problem. I like planes like this
@PlanesOfOld Thanks, I appreciate the spotlight
@ThePrototype Boo
Thanks @sexylips35
@ThePrototype no problem!
Nice!
@JettStorm Thanks man
@AdlerSteiner @Serkonda @BaconRoll
Thanks guys!!!
@Sgtk @SledDriver @Earthbenderrwefa
Thanks guys!!!
@ThePrototype indeed
@JelloAircraftCorporation @Griffinthedragon @Roswell thanks guys!!!!!
@randomusername Thanks man
@RailfanEthan THANK YOU!!!!
This system is actually flawed past like 20 degrees, I had to used a modified system on the second plane to make it work better, but thanks again @FlyingThings @Hyattorama @FastDan
No problem, the mere efford you put into this deserves a spotlight
