Fun2av8RC,
Here are the files you need. The AV applies to my Pete n Poke and will make it fly as close to the way the Pietenpol Air Camper should as I can make it. Wings, tail feathers, etc. are different, but RF uses the raw shape of the fuselage that's in the 3D model and it is still based on the Poke's. I gave the physics model a 7' wingspan and put a Saito 72 up front. The 3D model is of course still the PnP and that is what you see, but if you look in the editor you'll see shorter but wider wings than are being used in the physics.
The CS file is just an export of the Pete n Poke's color scheme renamed Mr. Sam. This gives you the files to edit to achieve a repaint to look like your real plane. To make this process easier, I've also included a multi-layer Photo Shop file (just remove the .rfx extension and edit it with a paint program).
Enjoy,
Doug

Could someone please do a RC model of Gustave Whitehead's first airplane to fly? Much info here http://www.gustave-whitehead.com/

A great request. Thanks for providing the link 12oclockhigh. Have heard about his flight claim before, but had never seen pictures of the plane.

A little more research revealed two full size replicas were made and reportedly flown, one in the US, and one in Germany. These links show a few pictures of the 1986 US version:

not "reportedly", they flew... difference was the power was not exactly the same. The original was powered with pressure from a Butane bottle of gas. Both reproductions serve as proof of concept and likely (maybe, sortof, could of) the first plane to fly ever. Hard to believe that none of the witnesses (testified under oath) were believed. Just out of current questioning, and historical interest, I hope someone picks up this project and brings it to completion. It is a wing warper.

Precision Aerobatics Bandit. I couldn't find one. It's a cool plane!

I never really looked at it
just searched B-26 and that came up ....but you're right !

Your approach is fine however you're not accounting for the effect of the brakes.
You can use the offset/trim function to determine how much of an effect the elevator has on the brake activation or you can use a complex curve to do the same.
I prefer the latter as it lets me limit brake activation so that they START being applied when the elevator is pushed forward about 70% of travel.
Then you can set up the curve so that by 100% of travel the brakes are more fully engaged
hint you do NOT want brake pressure at 100% or your Simulated plane, like a real one, will be hopping on the rubber...
Leave the brakes always active too no conditionals are needed.

do you think this is unique a question to deserve its own thread?

Go to the USAF museum. They have one sitting in the corner there. I have a few pictures of it.
