Pelican rotating engine VTOL v1.0

480 Tahyang  8.0 years ago

I've put the ubersonic project on hold to bring you...this thing! Capable of VTOL via land or sea, this cargo-themed aircraft features fully functional rotating engines and a hollow interior designed to accommodate additions and modifications. Just remove the top panels to access the bay. Feel free to post your mods and improvements; I'd love to see them. Just mention them in the comments on this post and I'll check 'em out.
OPERATION: Vertical takeoff can be achieved at 6% throttle (recommended). Take it slow, as the engine is extremely powerful. She's heavy so vtol'n will take patience and practice. DO NOT activate no.7
As always, comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc. are welcome and appreciated. Kudos to whoever can help me come up with a better name than pelican lol
