THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is ThunderBird 2 my second TB in the challenge now this is more complecated to fly since it uses vtol as does in the tv although its not a powerful vtol so it needs steps :First get your throttle to around 60% 50% is fine but id say 60% and higher then press one which enables the vtol rockets to work now the rockets rotate by using pitch and they are throttled using Vtol now aim the engines inbetween 45% and starting posistion so you still go up but also dont ...flip now once your in the air (if you got to that step before crashing) go full throttle then disable the Vtol engines by pressing 1 once again now you can fly!! just note its a slow turner like REALLY SLOW (i tried to make it as much as the real thing so i couldnt really make it 100% controllable but i made it as good as i could without compremising the design now please dont be mean about how bad the design is this is my first vehicle using strucual wings and well it took ALONG TIME (like 15 hours) so i know it doesnt look brilliant but hey its the best i could do now why are you stil reading al lthis why arnt you attempting to fly? WeaselZone I would love it if you featured this series of thunderbirds on one of your episodes :D CHALLENGE TRY TO FLY THROUGH OR UNDER BRIDGE WITH IT. Now remember there is more to come! to come this is only number 2! :D
