Video of the Orca flying and hovering capabilities

Introducing Orca II Civilian.
This Light agile VTOL is used for exploring, sport and utility operations.
Fueled by Tiberium, the Orca II can remain in the air as long as there's someone in the cockpit.
Unlike earlier Orca designs, that were fueled by petroleum based fuel.

NOW INCLUDING:
-Directional Thrusters for improved control.
-Basic but informative Cockpit, designed to increase situational awareness.
-Auto Hover Gyro -AG7 on + throttle at 12%-13%% on the Vertical line, Reduce speed, use Trim and increase/decrease Throttle as necessary.
-Amphibian, because why not... ;)

-VTOL- Engine rotation from full horizontal to -20 degrees forward.
Used for leveling the nose in Hover and Horizontal Flight.
-Trim- Extra 45 degrees of reverse movement for the engines, used for stopping and maneuvering.

Landing gear retract landing gear key (G)
AG1 - Lights
AG7 - Gyro / Auto-leveling
AG8 - Directional thrusters - DO NOT DEACTIVATE WHEN HOVERING!!!

    @DanDaFreakinMan The Orca is hard to fly.
    I tegged you in something I'm making to be much easier

    Howdy! It is I DanDaFreakinMan without that pink name color! Do you have any recommendation for these Orcas as a beginner? I tried this one and it works fine, but everytime I exhaled and the air from my breath touch the mouse, the Orca flip upside down! This is my first time flying it of course so I definitely need some practice.

    @doge Thanks , no offense taken :)
    I know I post Orca's too often (It's my favorite aircraft since I was a kid), I am working on a few other things atm.
    The Orca is my "Test" base for new Technologies for other builds as well :)
    (Mammoth Tank, Recon Bike, 4 engine heavy cargo/Bomber/Dropship VTOL)
    and a couple of others :)

    I love the way the orcas u build look but

    Please note this is only my opinion and I don't mean to offend you

    You've built like what is it now umm 4-5 orcas on the same body style

    Orca Mk-4 my fave also released the engine setup for the public

    Orca 1 kinda ironic (major over haul of body shape)

    Orca sp scaled orca 1 but bigger duh and gimbal cam I think this was the one that u introduced them on

    Orca 2 new paint scheme that looks amazing plus air brakes and cockpit interface

    Orca 2 utility/civilian thrusters for I'm proved control and performance at the cost of weight and another great paint scheme

    PLZ Keep reading

    It's just they all kinda look similar to the others and I would like to see what u could do with the building skills you've gained since then

    @HarryBen47 link , You need 2 rotators (Pitch and Roll) + A block (to connect the rest) + A camera + gyro, Connected in this Order and Move to place.
    Tho I might make a new one with a bottom weight like a real one...

    @HarryBen47 but the Video that you saw was basically a test to see how the Orca II is as a Camera/Recording platform :)

    @HarryBen47 I made a gimballed camera, and others...
    the problem is that I'm not recording my own plane, I focus on others flying.
    So I need to be able to see other planes, but I need an instrument pannel or the HUD to maintain my own hovering....

    To have more Camera view add some normal camera and chase camera like I do on my Wasp AI post

    Hi I'm Harry, I follow you on SP and subscribe your channel on U2tube. I have an idea for you can you make a story episodes series with your friends in multiplayer shooting some AI opponent? I think that it will improve your susbcriptions rate. You are awesome builder, stay awesome
