Water Albatross

30.8k CrazyCatZe  5 months ago

Hello.

first of all, a big thanks to L1nus for the amazing pictures!
So originally this was meant to participate in the biplane challenge, but I couldn't finish it in time.... This is somewhat a successor to the Bartgeier; it features a snipable pilot and the auto-firing guns. I built a water and a land version; I'd be really interested in knowing which you like more, tell me in the comments! Also, I did try something new on this one though; if you deactivate AG8, the starting sequence is engaged.

Optional starting sequence:

For the exhaust fire effects, turn flip the red switch
and activate air to ground or air to air.
To engage the starting sequence, deactivate AG8.
Now, you'll need to pump up the starter system; to do so, pump the throttle stick to your right in and out until the gauge right above it is at "R". Now press the red starter button; you can press it multiple times to make sure the engine really starts.

Auto-fire guns:

Flip the yellow switch and select a target; now the guns will automatically fire when you have a shot.

    @Rondine, The idea is that the prop is powered by the engine inside the plane through a driveshaft. You can see the exhaust system of the engine in the front of the plane; the thing on top is just a gearbox.

    @Liquidfox01, The propeller was a weird design choice (I even got a bit of backlash for it), but I think it works well. Thank you
