Martin-Custer Vortex™

69.2k Chancey21  5.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Chancey21's Martin-Custer Vortex

The Martin-Custer Vortex is an Experimental Channelwing Aircraft capable of flying at speeds of down to 5 Mph. But, the only thing this plane is good for is to fly slow. It proved to be an unreliable and hard to control design.

Controls:

AG1-Start engines and slow flight vortex
LandingGear -Retract Gear


Notes:
A low effort, fun to fly build, not a full-blown project.
Very hard to fly
Stall speed- Basically Nothing


Thanks,

-Chancey21

    I put a gun on it but the rolling seems to be a bit bugged. I don't know how to fix it but I added an explosive gun that can be aimed with VTOL and TRIM and I change the flaps to only be active when AG2 is on. The gun is activeated with AG3 and I removed the pitch trimming so it won't affect the gun control.

    @Chancey21 thanks, but I'm not that good of a builder. I've built only one custom flight worthy aircraft and while it looked horrible, it was just for light bombing and recon. I'll give it a shot though

    Nah, I mostly build civilian crafts, but you can make one! @Khanskaya

    Make a Gunship like this. Would be useful for those missions where you have to turn on autopilot and guntrol a gun or something so you need your aircraft to be as slow as possible so you won't pass your target too quick. Just an idea

    @Chancey21 wow, that’s some eye for precision you have there! Nice!

    Nope, just eyeballed it and mass edited with XML find and replace; lots of trial and error @ChiChiWerx

    @Chancey21 really...the placement is perfect. Did you use math and figure out the numbers beforehand? I’m asking because I need to do something similar for a build I’m working on and I’d like it to look finished, which I’ve not been able to do.

    No, just fine tuner and mirroring @ChiChiWerx

    Geez, such hostility...anyhow, how did you place those sections together so precisely? Did you use scripts?

    It can fly, you must use the yaw to turn. @Tongwu

    This thing can take off at bike speed.

    Also, don’t spawn it in a location with anything more than slow speed, because all of a sudden it will go 3,000mph and start going crazy.
