H1-A Finch Human Powered Aircraft

Another "H series" vehicle: things that are human powered for no particular reason. You'll need a pretty long runway for this one, and it helps to have .27 or so pitch-up trim during takeoff.

Cruise speed - 80 knots
Range - until you get sick of holding interact keys
Uses - Memes

>Does it use clutch slipping?
Yes. I fought with it for a good while and I'm reasonably sure it can't be made to fly without it, and that no reasonable design could. By all means prove me wrong, though; clutch slipping is kind of lame. Three or four cranks would probably do it, but no one is awake right now to help me test a tandem design.

EDIT: Due to the latest SW update (8/4/2023), a change in drag calculation has caused this vehicle to be buffed considerably! The difference appears to be concentrated on already low-drag designs like this one, but you will now see upper-bound speeds much faster, and much better climb rates. I have mixed feelings about that on this particular project because I enjoyed that it barely flew, so I may throw out an updated version that has its performance deliberately reduced.
