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

(Tell me if you would use this for one of your car builds. Also if you do use this tag me on your build so I can see it used!! :D)

@PapaKernels np bro)
@PapaKernels ok
@superTT thanks for the spot man!!
@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.
@PapaKernels np, interesting system
@SuperTT thanks man!!
@PapaKernels cool
@50CalChicken thanks!
@PapaKernels done, I tagged you
@PapaKernels well, it has pop out propellers, and it still drives and stuff
@50CalChicken it's going to fly?! Thatll be odd
Well, it's close, but I'm having trouble finding the right settings to make it fly, but I have good progress
@PapaKernels ok, I hope it to be able to drive and fly.
@50CalChicken alright cant wait to see it!!
@PapaKernels yerp, and i am working on the thing with this
@50CalChicken thanks for the spot!
@PapaKernels ok.
@50CalChicken alright tag me when you do!
@PapaKernels I will try, but I am working on something else right now, I will build something out of this though.
@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?
@PapaKernels eventually sure
@Skylerthedrawer oohhh I love that thing, I see alot of them around me.
@PapaKernels but yet its so good
