Small electric fan powered aircraft with automatic flap program for takeoff and landing at 40 M/s and top speed of 130 M/s.
The low torque motors and lightweight airframe provides a range of 1000km+ on one battery charge.
.
Activation Groups
-Propellers - Activates electric motors
-ASL Hold - Controls pitch to maintain ASL Alt(Minimum 150 Meters), and auto override for AGL less than 150 Meters
-AGL Hold - Controls pitch to maintain AGL Alt
- Headlights -
- Landing Gear - Automatic extend and retract landing gear, on landing throttle under 40% and AGL under 100 Meters will extend gear
.
at low altitudes - adjust the plane to level flight before activating AGL or ASL hold activation groups

One of my all-time favorites. It's just amazing to discover interesting planets, if the POI are placed near the runway, little bit like Simpleplanes.

@SmurfResearchX I tried building one of these with a mini jet, was too heavy to be considered an ultralight
Also, you can just tinker down the weight for stuff like the wings which would usually be made of foam or aluminum frames + plastic

@YourBestFriend - no problem - i hope it works for your craft - i used beacon lights for the part associated with the activation groups, so they would need to match #s on the craft and vizzy...it should work on any craft from there

@YourBestFriend - i saw your forum question about locking pitch - i put a program on this one with "AGL hold"(controls pitch relative to terrain) or "ASL hold"(controls level flight) activation groups - both lock heading when activated - if this is what you are thinking, feel free to use it, or i can seperate/adjust any part that could work for you

@PipVader - haha, yes - at the low throttle speeds, you have to watch out for passing bird flocks...so they dont rear end the fans

@TestRunner - thanks - just added the throttle, flaps, yaw levers to the pilot controls and fixed one little part in the vizzy, from the last one...android needs laser support
I got another ultralight
