The 'skeleton version' of my ongoing project, "Cool 1980's Giant Anime Spaceship", used to test the features and tweak the flying characteristics.
The current posted version of the spaceship" unfortunately
squandered some of the flying qualities of the testbed and lost the automatic descent control. So I am not completely satisfied with that one and will post a new version before too long. In the meantime here is a fine flyable version, not so spiffy looking but perfect to take on a spin and practice your VTOL hovering skills.
Of course, you can also build your own ultimate flying machine using the features of the skeleton as a starting point. You can also take it apart, study the features you like and then use the tricks you learned in your own crafts. You can even copy the parts wholesale into your next build or just blatantly use the skeleton as is and build your own cool starship around it. Just give me some credits and shout out to me when posting it. My currency is the pride in getting recognized for a job well done.
