M8 "Mosquito"

Super smol build?
No problem
Inspired by COD:AW's Recon Drone

Low Part Count, With Smooth Movement, And Really Smol

Description

M8 developed by Irilon Order to minimize their soldier casualities while patrolling near their wild swamps. Currently, 20 soldiers went missing after patrolling through the swamp. So they develop a drone small enough to patrol the area. This drone has advanced detection system that detect sound. It also equipped with camera with thermal and night vision. This drone could fly at least 4 hour without charging. This drone has remote control range about 1000m. It's agile and small enough to go through swamp, forest and even urban area. However, it doesn't equipped with any weapon, so it can't be used for attacking, only reconaissance. This drone also pretty cheap and easy to produce. And It's really small, and quite lightweight to carry.
It's powered by a one electric contra-rotating blade in the middle and has impressive speed, it can reach 300km/h and still pretty controllable.
Two tall antennas provide medium range remote control system while shorter antennas provide detection system. It depends on sound and visual detection, any sound source will be displayed on controller's screen and controller could check it using the 360° camera.

How To Fly It?

Take Off
Slide Throttle above 50% slowly (around 62%)
Never Deactivate AG8!

Fly
Use Pitch to move forward, backward and Roll to move to right or left side
Use Yaw to rotate drone
VTOL isn't recommended, but if you want to travel faster, slide down VTOL to 50%
It controls smoother in High physics, but less smooth in low physics, but still flyable

Landing
Just slide down Throttle, and slowly touch the ground
Last time I tried it, it went through the ground, probably because it's too lightweight

Activation Group

Only AG8 for Gyroscope that control every movement

Thanks For Downloading

I made it cuz I'm bored, have nothing to do on Saturday Night, so I Made this. It's really simple and ugly.
