Log Skidder

Simple Log Skidder. I used Wakescar's 4x4 Chassis as the base for this build.

~ INSTRUCTIONS ~
• VTOL controls boom arm
• Pitch forward opens claw
• 1 Detaches log from pile
• 8 deactivates boom to lock in position for travel
• VTOL also controls forward and reverse of skidder ( be sure to deactivate boom when skidding log )
• Camera 1 > cockpit view
• Camera 2 > view from boom
• Camers 3 > view from log
• YAW > quad steering for tighter manuevers

~ How To Skid Log ~
• **Do not throttle up until log has been grappled!**
• Hold pitch forward and slide VTOL all the way forward.
• Once claw is in place release pitch to grab log.
• Press 1 to detach log from pile.
• Slide VTOL one notch below neutral ( position for skidding ) and deactivate 8.
• Slide VTOL to neutral and throttle up.
• Enjoy!

Try so see how far up and over the mountain you can get with log in tow. VTOL neutral is best for skidding. Be sure to back her off when going down hill and give her some throttle going up.

    @BlueHawk I hear you. It can be quite difficult in small areas to place pieces. I appreciate the compliment!

    This is awesome. You could take a chainsaw and one of these and totally clear the Fresh Air build I've got up. This thing is super fun to use. Giving it logs to pull is a nice touch. Well done.
