Big stick ultralight aircraft ---NEW VERSION OUT NOW---

V2 IS OUT IN CASE YOU HAVENT HEARD IT ENOUGH

This was made possible by the cool new aerodynamics MOD. This plane is temporary and will be reiterated in the future. I took inspiration from the "vintage stick" and "slow stick" RC airplanes. The only nuanced thing is the engine controls: hold "I" until the RPM goes past 200. The engine idles VERY slowly at a blistering rate of 190 RPM. The throttle is a toggle, the key for that is "R". Rudder is "Q" and "E". feel free to change any controls, as the airplane is as basic as it gets. The settings it was designed around for aerodynamics is an efficiency of 4, everything else is untouched.

EDIT: So, I did some testing with damage ON and found out that the landing characteristics are GHASTLY. The tail-skid seems to just break off when subjected to anything above 5 newtons of force. However, there is a key to it; In case any of you were also attempting to land without breaking the tail-skid and haven't found a way than you're in luck. The key to it is to apply DOWN ELEVATOR just before the front wheels hit the ground, this is because the plane loves to bounce up and down, and if you don't get it under control it gets exponentially worse. When the wheels are firmly on the ground, just feather the elevator to put the tail down as gently as possible. With enough experience, you can actually nail some pretty... "vertical" landings without breaking anything.

TLDR: apply down elevator just before wheels touch down to keep the plane stable while landing.
