Original Goal

This is the first "proper" plane I build for Create Aeronautics. I tried to keep it small and affordable. The plane isn't very fast and cannot do stunts, but it works well and looks quite nice. To me it's the perfect first plane for early- to mid-game exploration.

What V2 improves

V2 increases the wingspan and size of the propeller. This massively improves the flight characteristics, making the plane much more stable and forgiving in turns. You can now fligh higher, faster and make more aggressive turns without worrying about stalling it quickly. The top speed of approx. 35 m/s is reached using throttle position 11/15. Want to go even faster? Increase the size of the small front propeller!

Controls

throttle lever
lever-operated clutch
WASD for pitch and roll.

There may be future updates to come.
