GV-X Quadjet Levitator

1,475 crxtsp  6.9 years ago
Auto Credit Based on crxtsp's GV-3 "Wolf" Mk.5g

Tried a few concepts to make a helicopter out of the buggy frame, all with rockets on the rotor blades, never ended up working well, I tried out a few jet engine ideas and was still running into control issues, and like magic the gyroscope appears. I just loaded it up, added it, and the craft now flys upright just perfectly! Click 8 to turn off the gyro and see how it worked originally. Great update! This has a big fuel tank slung low and dragger fins for stability from the original design.
