I have been wanting to build one but I can’t stop it from drifting in the water and spinning out. And I don’t know how to make it hover.

@BomberBoy2 np
@asteroidbook345 Thank you so much for the spotlight!
@BomberBoy2 Great!
@asteroidbook345 took me i while but I finally finished the Ekranoplan!
@BomberBoy2 cool
@asteroidbook345 Ok thank you. As soon as I’m done with that I’m gonna share it!
Don’t scale the whole part or it’ll throw everything out of whack
@BomberBoy2 just make the rotor diameter really small and the power really high until it works properly
@asteroidbook345 I am trying to make the helicopter rotor invisible but then make Ekranoplan won’t do the ground effect. How do I fix that?
@BomberBoy2 great! Tag me if you upload it!
I might make it look better tomorrow then share it, and when I share it I hope you see it!
@asteroidbook345 Thank you, for the last few minutes I have been building a Ekranoplan. I got it hovering above the water now!
Oh and just make the collective tied to the throttle input and have the governor engage at 0% so increasing throttle doesn’t do anything
@BomberBoy2 depends on weight and speed, just fiddle with it until it feels right
@asteroidbook345 I have one more question now, what should I set the ground effect and translational lift too? Any specific numbers you recommend?
@BomberBoy2 no problem
@asteroidbook345 Thank you so much!
@BomberBoy2 go to the top menu, scroll down till you get to the scalars page, and then change the numbers with the right attributes
@asteroidbook345 How do I do that stuff in overload?
Maybe I’ll just upload my old one that I just made work as a tech demonstrator
You have to use helicopter rotors for the ground effect (go into overload and make groundEffect lower than translationalLift, which should be pretty high) and a vertical stabilizer for the rudder
I use pistons, Same as Submarine piston, but inverted, you can watch the tutorial how to make working submarine, then you going to know how to make hovering vehicle, or ekranoplan
