Veto Aerospace Softwing

[RedDwarfIV]

The Softwing is a highly agile Long TakeOff and Landing [LTOL] aircraft, capable of some stunning feats, among which are terrain flying and loop-the-loops, though we are certain that there are a hundred more tricks this bird can play in the right hands. Whilst most VA craft are interesting, or even amazing in their own ways, this plane takes the biscuit. As our test pilot put it, 'She\'s a whole new breed.'

The Softwing is capable of landing safely with extensive damage. However, the forward port wing did come off after touchdown.

Some instructions.

When in flight, do not use SAS or Precision Controls. They mess with the agility, and increases crashrate tenfold. After taking off at full throttle, go down to anything between 1/5 and no throttle. It can glide well, and this keeps fuel economy high. It also makes it easier to do performances.

When landing, attempt to find a long stretch of flat ground. Line the plane up, and level it out. Turn on SAS and Precision Controls [usually Caps Lock.] Throttle down to 1/10, and use WASD controls to keep it both lined up and level. It should go down gently, but make sure it doesn\'t pitch forward too much. It has a tendancy to do that.

There is no ASAS. I\'ve been having problems with that.

See what sort of stunts you can pull, I\'ve had some fun seeing just how much better this flies than my normal designs.
