Upper Echelon - Drone

5,093 FauxRealest  9.2 years ago

[WARNING, DO NOT MIRROR THIS AIRCRAFT.]
Recreations welcome, Don't worry about crediting, just have fun with it.
Quadra copter drone

The fanciest Echelon!

-HOW TO FLY- Hard to learn at first. Works like a real drone without the stabilizing computer
~
Front is green
Back is red
Activator 1 for expert mode. (High sensitivity)
Deactivate 1 for long travel/beginner mode
Drone will angle forward naturally due to the arrangement of the gyroscopic forces from the rotors.

-UFO MODE- Hold yaw(left stick) full horizontally any direction to activate. You will maintain your current heading and speed.

-Built in Gyroscope to keep track of orientation in cockpit mode. This makes it easier to control in first person view giving a reference point and general spin axis.

-Start at bandit airport, and try to land on the bridge.
-Get close to a mountain and vertically scale it. The forces from the propeller help keep you from hitting the side

Camera 1- RC mode


Echelon pitches and rolls using prop tilting at various degrees with top props supplying constant force. Dont hesitate to ask any questions about how this aircraft works

    Thanks so much @WeeBabySeamus @BigCat ! Glad you agree :) Also, I hate to respond to your positive comment with more work but, the 'edit' function isn't working at the moment. It just screams alien code. Thanks again!
