LAC- HX2 Windmill

9,692 QuesoAirlines  8.6 years ago

Improved version of the first design of the HX1. The wings are at an anhedral, which makes the center of lift lower. The wheel base is wider which helps with takeoff and landing. Airbrakes can be toggled with action group 3 and is activated by pitching upwards. I had noticed after uploading this that the winglets on the main wings don't go in the same direction, but yaw should only be used turning on the ground.


Action groups

1: Turns the main rotor on
2: Turns on the pusher propeller
3: Activates the airbrakes by pitching up
