"Rockhopper" Folding Wing Aircraft

1,503 Samwise  8.3 years ago

The Rockhopper was an experimental aircraft created before the beginning of WWII. Its design allowed for better storage where space was limited and required a relatively short time to take off. It was put in to small scale production, but soon after this was cancelled as the parts and engines were required to build more modern and mainstream aircrafts for the war. A few Rockhoppers were weaponized and served in the war, but they were considered too dated and underpowered for anything more than that.

Instructions- pull the vtol slider all the way down, making sure the wings meet. Then proceed to take off as normal, just don't pull up too hard when you leave the ground. It can take off from the uss tiny, but be sure to pull up hard at the end when it leaves the boat.
