GW-7 Cicada

Backstory

The year is 2021, and holy cow the aircraft industry has had a major uprising in the popularity of Biplanes. New versions are coming out all the time, some with enough room for 4 people, it is crazy. Boeing has had trouble keeping up with the demand and has recruited lesser known companies to help with supplying them. GW industries was the 4th to be recruited and the second best at building planes. After a couple months of planning they finally produce the GW-7 Cicada civilian biplane. By the year 2023 there have been over 8274 GW-7’s made, and this is model 7115, relatively new. Of course Matty has gotten so many subscribers he has earned millions of dollars, and this is the plane he bought for 32,999 dollars. A small loan for him.

Flight Controls

Throttle for throttle
Pitch for pitch
Roll for roll
Yaw for yaw
VTOL down for flaps (use in flight for level flight)

Includes

Dynamic Cockpit
Working dials (most of them :P)
Wibble Wobble Intennas
Dynamic Flaps
Cute radio
Brake button
Throttle and VTOL levers
AG1 for landing lights
AG2 for Navigation lights

Cool stunts

Hold down pitch and either yaw for cool mid-air drift like stunts :)

Landing

To land go to 15% throttle and put VTOL all the way down, slowly decrease throttle down to 0 and use pitch to correct angle, you should come to a complete stop. After on the ground hold down pitch and brakes to come to a stop.

Warning

There is a problem with drag on the plane, for some reason i could not fix it, it has a slight tendency to curve to the left in flight, it is miniscule but there, it should not affect you too much though.

ENJOY!!!
