Hover Bike Omega-Psi-1

Auto Credit Based on CSP27's Futuristic Vehicle Challenge 0/50

For Futuristic Challenge and for my own knowledge.
This is my first "hover" style vehicle so bear that in mind. I guess ground vehicle category 0_@ not sure...

Control:
1. Thrust: Hover Jets. Power 95% usually okay, 100% for more hover, will move (see below) at even 0% but sluggish.
2. VTOL: forward and reverse movement. Forward (VTOL up) is pretty fast at full hover). Reverse (VTOL down) is pretty slow.
3. Roll: Turns left and right. Be careful, very sensitive at some speeds and bit sluggish at others. Little practice of full rolling and than stabilizing with opposing roll direction to straighten up is essential.*
4. Pitch: Pitch down only (push up on pitch key for me so craft goes up. oops, my bad for confusing myself). these vertical thrusters give some extra altitude, lower thrust % to have hover down (do this gently!) Also tilts a bit if you don't play with the trim (see below).
5. Trim: Controls rear shock strut up and down for back part of frame. Helps control hover direction, play around with pitch (around 20% to 30% up) to have hover in place, where any more or less will have bike idling backwards or forward if not using VTOL for actual speed.
6. YAW: Controls scatter laser direction, slowly returns back to forward position.*
7. Brakes: Air brakes, but does cut hover, so be careful.
8. Weapons: Forward compression guns x2, ground targeting missiles x6, countermeasures, scatter laser turret.

Note did pretty good on tank training ground, but not super tough to direct hits, missiles not 100% accurate at all times, and trees, omg trees at 180mph is not good idea).

    Yes
    It goes on The ground Vehicle type

    So
    I rate it.
    Weapons: 15/20- Lots of OP Guns but still, They can't be aimed
    Looks: Also 15/20- It looks cool but you can do Better
    Fonctionnality: 12/20- Not enough Animating Things, but still
    My Opinion: 8/10,- Was fun to Drive But slides off When hovering
    Maneuvrability : 15/20
    Desc: 5/10: No backstory, No pics but Really well detailed
    Bonus : 0- The bonus consist of the craft being dropped of by a craft or dropping a craft

    Overall: 70/100
    That's pretty good
