kinematicbomber

Discription:

This is s future VTOL-bomber. It looks cool and is a beauty in flightbehavior.
Pay attention to the kinematic system that rotates the engines. it took me quiete a while to get this right. It shifts the COT from ideal VTOL-position to ideal fastflight-position. Due to this the airplane behaves properly in both flightmodes. It`s fully weaponed with bombs and countermeasures.


Controls:

AG 1-4 starts 10 bombs each in a timesequence
AG 5 is for controls during vertical flight
-its a steering nozzle system
AG 6 is for controls during horicontal flight
AG 7 is for fast and safe travel flight
AG 8 is for VTOL take off and landing with gyroassistance
extending and retracting landinggear starts conversion from vertical to horicontal flight

If you flew one of my builds before this should look familiar

How to fly it:

VTOL takeoff and landing:

activate AG 8 and 6
give more than 30% throttle
gain some hight
wait till the nose pitches up again
retract landinggear for conversion
pitch up a little during conversion
voila you should be flying with up to 300 mph
landing is basicly following the steps in opposit direction
reducing throttle to 15%
extand landinggear
use AG 5 and/or 6 for controls

Vertical flight:

AG 8 and 5 activated
Landinggear extanded
pitch forward accelerates
pitch back will slow you down
roll left/right will swing you in the choosen direction
behaves allmost like a helicopter

horicontal flight:

AG 6 activated
Landinggear retracted
regular flight controls

fast travel flight:

only AG 7 activated
fast and stable, easy to control

combat or dogfight flight:

AG 7 and 6 activated
very fast and agile



Notes:

when using AG 5 in vertical flight with low groundspeed
- allways pitch forward before you start rolling left or right

Enjoy
