Design

The fs26 Moseppl is a cantilever high-wing monoplane with a monocoque nacelle fuselage and a glassfibre/balsa sandwich wing structure, fitted with airbrakes but no flaps or ailerons.[1] To make room for the engine the Moseppl has twin fins and rudders attached to the wing trailing edge with an all-moving tailplane between the tops of the vertically surfaces.[1] The pilot sits in an enclosed cockpit with a transparent canopy and the landing gear is a retracting rear monowheel and non-steerable nosewheel.[1] The rear-mounted engine is a 26 hp (19 kW) Solo-Hirth engine with a variable pitch pusher propeller.[1]

gollark: GTech operates a number of trilaterators, but they can only listen on known-in-advance channels because of the 128 channel limitation.
gollark: Of course, I think we really need 12 sniffers, 4 per dimension, so we can get good trilateration fixes.
gollark: * make 512 modems listen on 128 channels each
gollark: It's just a regular rednet one, not modem, right?
gollark: Why oh why did Minecraft invent its own ridiculous NBT format instead of one of the many binary JSON standards?!
