So I stumbled across an old build of mine and decided to fix it without adding new things like rotors. I added more power, made the transition to fixed wing easier (good luck either way bud) , fixed the tail rudders,. And oh yeah I made the vibes alot smoother, so now it doesn't fly like a Chinook permanently stuck at 40%NR...so that's cool I guess. Have fun flying this craptastic ,....thing. incoming old description and destructions Welcome to the VTCP platform!.... This ACFT is the premier model in its class for both vertical takeoff and landing aswell as fixed wing flight... For success while piloting this ACFT please take the following instructions into account..... INSTRUCTIONS: The Vtol slider on the left controls your blade pitch, scroll the vtol marker down for upward lift/forward thrust... The TRIM SLIDER on the right controls the tilt of the acft wing rotors. scroll the slider up for the rotors to face forwards for fixed wing mode (must have taken off first) ( before going to full horizontal mode ensure the acft is going at least 100mph and is at least 400 ft above the ground) there are 2 main methods of take off, vertical and horizontal, instructions for both will be given later... RIGHT STICK: this is responsible for your pitch and roll in fixed wing mode and acts as a cyclic stick while in hover mode (must have actg 1 on for full hover control)...LEFT STICK: this is responsible for your engine power and yaw while in fixed wing mode, yaw while in hover mode (actg 1 on) allows the rotors to tilt on the Z axis for easier turning... ADV INSTRUCTIONS... Vertical takeoff- 1: turn on actg 1 ...2: thrust to 100... 3: loser vtol slider till a slow lift off is achieved... 4: once 500 feet above ground increase please pitch ( vtol slider down) to half way... 5: tilt rotors to 45 degrees forward... 6: once a speed of 120 is reached slide vtol alo the way down and tilt the rotors to full forward ( between the last 2 tick Marks)... 7: PULL UP... 8: actg 1 off... HORIZONTAL TAKEOFF!! ...1: Tilt rotors forward ( ensure they cant hit the ground)... 2: bring the vtol slider down half way... 3: engine power to 30%... 4: once a speed of 100mph is reached increase thrust to 100%... 5: once you are lifted off tilt the rotors more forward and slide the vtol slider all the way down... 6: tilt rotors to horizontal position... 7: PULL UP!... END INSTRUCTIONS.... I hope you enjoy the acft....kinda
