It's not needed to aim accurately now, just to,

when high above the target Carrier Beast,

  • Activate button 2 to extend parachute

Extend parachute to hang up in the air, and Press Button Gear to extend the wings out.

now, you have a good time to watch the enemy carrier or other targets, so,

  • Deactivate button 8 to switch to accurate mode

use vtol and trim to aim the collision point to the target point, this mode enable to operate more accurately. In this view, I could see the target clearly and aim the point to it at ease.

  • Fire!

If you are soon to drop into the sea,

  • Activate Button 3 to enable gyroscope

inside the drone and use your mouse stick to point the drone up the sky and Deactivate button 2 to release the parachute, then, fly up!

But I'm not satisfied with this model

The pitch up and down of the drone are inverted when speed is very low, and functional after it gain speed very high, so I attach a gyroscope inside it, I have to enable gyroscope when operate by me flying slowly, but it is steady when projecting by the detacher, I have tried my best, It very difficult to model in so small space, finally, I recorded the video uploaded to youtube and upload the model here and decided to give up the model, so,

Could any one here help me to optimize the design of this model? Thanks very much!
