Default RE: E-Spaceship One for AFPD

One thing that is amazing about this plane. If you are stalled or inverted or whatever .... as soon as you flip the "feather" the plane will start falling exactly how it supposed too. It will turn over on the right side and begin it's journey. This is why Burt Rutan conceived this, just in case there is a blackout by the pilot or directional control loss, the plane will fix itself.

This just goes to show how well this physics engine responds to real world situations. This is a really amazing foamy. You guys are going to love this one.

Here is a video. I don't have a proportional channel on my sim radio right now. But you can adjust the feather for less angle of attack or to use for flips.
