SA-III "De-fire" Modless Electric Propeller Plane

[Daeridanii]

Recently I've been experimenting with electric propellers and have come up with this monstrosity.

 

PRESENTING, THE SA-III "DE-FIRE"

Featuring:

- 100% Modlessness

- Semi-extreme maneuverability at low speeds

- Theoretically infinite range

- Rather difficult to land

- Looks cool (by far the most important feature)

- More Pictures

 

The SA-III is the third iteration (and the best one) in a line of three electric prop-planes I've created. It is notable for its high maneuverability at low speeds, something I've noticed was lacking in my previous designs. The two SQ-2 contra-rotating propellers eliminate unwanted spin for a smooth (ish) flight experience.

How to Operate:

1. Press 1 to undock the propeller shafts

2. Activate the brakes (and SAS too, if you like)

3. Switch to a propellor and use alt-e to spin up the prop. You can monitor what % max speed the prop is at by observing the "roll" gauge under the stage indicator. (Recommended setting shown below)

4. Repeat with the second prop

5. Switch back to the main craft, deactivate the brakes, and taxi to the end of the runway.

6. Pull up once you have reached the end of the runway; may take a little practice to not damage the rear prop on takeoff.

 

Happy flights, everyone! Any feedback is welcome.
