Air-ride suspension test

this is an experimental build to test air-ride customizable suspension

So this is just a small experiment to make an air-ride suspension in simpleplanes. I just did the frame so that if you want to make your own vehicle with this air-ride suspension you can.

what I did

I put two hinge rotators, and this is what raises the suspension and lowers it. The only part that gets raised is the wheel itself. The first rotator raises it and the other one keeps the wheel level with the ground. The system works very well and is cool to watch. You can alter the speed of it by adjusting the speed of the rotator. I'm telling you how I did it because the suspension on this is pretty bad ( I'm not good at suspensions) but the overall concept works well. Fully lowered it raises it up about a foot. The concept works well and I'm going to come out with something using this concept ( maybe a 63 impala lowrider, but it wont look anything like a 63 impala).

controls

Vtol- raise and lower the suspension ( up to raise down to lower see images below)
Throttle- throttle
Brake-brake
Yaw- for turn

    @superTT if your going to use it you can change the speed for the rotators to make it slower on one wheel but not on the other.

    @RankStarfish201 ok, can wait to see it. It's a good concept ( but I may be biased).

    @50CalChicken honestly it's not that good, as in it doesn't have alot of travel. Are you going to make something with this?
