OK, whew, I think I'm out of spanner wrenches. Anyways. I'm really proud of this project so far. But I'm looking for feedback still. Want any piloting tips? Just ask.
Updates:
Flight control system installed.
Weapons package refined
Body parts added
Macross DNA injected.
Features: FlexXBlade flight and battle wing. Hardened cobalt alloy can withstand over 10000 degrees C and be used as a melee weapon. Also helps facilitate flight.
Armored and EM shielded cockpit able to withstand small scale nuclear blasts.
Patented Björganism™®© Technology means that these legs were made for walking, and these arms were made for killing, inspired by nature, corrupted by man.
Controls (bear with me, they really are more intuitive than one might think.)
Walking:
Roll for top section turn
Yaw for bottom section turn
Trim for arms vertical control
Pitch for arms horizontal control (up to 50% for wing adjustment, 50%+ for melee mode.
VTOL for leg stride adjustment
Lightfoot Mode:
Throttle to 15% and engage AG1, wait a few seconds and disengage AG1.
Pilot as in normal walk mode with enhanced terrain capabilities.
Guardian Flight Mode:
Center trim and VTOL, throttle to 80% and engage AG1
Once climb is established Disengage ag1, you may now adjust altitude by making a throttle adjustment and engaging and then disengaging AG1.
Additional control and boost can be utilized at any time by leaving AG1 active, though arm movements will affect flight behavior.
Horizontal flight mode:
From Guardian mode, AG1 active, gain a directional velocity of at least 75 mph, now trim the arms backwards to 1/4, slowly increasing to 1/8 as velocity increases. Yaw and roll±pitch to turn (be gentle)
Landing:
Return to Guardian mode, AG1 active, get down to 5000ft or lower.
Obtain a mostly vertical decent vector and throttle down to 65%.
Maintain low descent and angular velocity. (under 50mph is a good target)
Once under 500ft, start slowing as much as you can without losing attitude.
Gain a very slight forward momentum as you reach 100ft altitude
Contact should not be made over 30mph while landing.
AG2 heavy cannons
AG3 + VTOL missile bay hatches
AG6 lights
AG8 OFF kill flashy engine lights.
Please, please feed me!

@flugzeug trying, I think you'll be happy with the final version... S....
@Cynister Yeah, keep up the good work!
@flugzeug thanks to you! Enjoy the upgrades?
@Cynister np man
@TheTekkit101 I try to use active people as guinea pigs, welcome to the lab. :p. Thanks for the up.
thx for following me :D
@Roswell yesss! Tytyty that's what I need for the legs to work as intended
@Cynister
Also there are so semi extended pistons modded that would help
Look at Chancey21 post, he find out about them
@Roswell definitely, in both regards.
@Cynister just keep working on it you'll find a way to make it work also you should check out some of my work
@Roswell I'm just looking for anything, the good and bad. I'm going for a good feel, not perfect. I think you should have to practice a little to pilot a mech well. It should have a couple quirks you know? So far compared to what I've seen I think I have a good blend going. But a few words from others is always good.
@Cynister what type of feedback you do you need?
@Roswell thanks again man. Feedback welcome.
@arcues thanks for the up! Please let me know what you think after getting used to her!
And seriously, feedback, anything at all. Need. Input.
