This is the Solar Wind, my way of experimenting with both props and nice looking fuselage wings with actual control surfaces. It's meant to be an experimental electric powered "glider" designed to stay in the air forever.

I think it looks pretty nice, but I decided to leave the stock texture because I didn't think anything else would really look nice. This isn't meant to be a super detailed build anyways, just a little experiment.


Controls & How to Use

  • Activate Group 1 for control surfaces
  • Throttle up to activate engines
  • When you reach 100m/s, activate Stage 1 and pull up hard. Stage 1 drops landing gear.

Hope you enjoy!

    If you do want it to fly, make the outer wings longer, then it will work

    Doesn't fly, if the throttle is at 80% or above, the props break :(
