VTOL-3

1,340 COREdevelopment  7.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on COREdevelopment's VTOL-2 (mods)

The most stable VTOL aircraft I have ever made. A lot of time and effort was put in to make sure this thing doesn't crash or explode unless the pilot does something outrageously stupid. Pitch up or down to move forward or backward on the ground, roll to steer, and yaw to strafe. AG1+throttle to take off, optimal throttle for hovering is around 32%~33%. Trim down to activate many airbrakes on the craft that regulate speed in all directions. VTOL down to activate 4 airbrakes at the back that keep the rear end in check while going forward. Remember, flying a VTOL aircraft is all about finesse, no matter how easy a craft is to control, you'll still die if you manhandle it through the air. Be sure to always make minute adjustments to all controls to ensure you don't crash within the first 30 seconds. As always, thank you for downloading and giving feedback, leave an upvote if you enjoyed, and have a good flight.
