For Crdguy's mobile turret challenge. It flies, and the transformation process has been simplified somewhat. The new instructions are:
- VTOL completely down
- Retract landing gear
However, there is now a bonus feature: elevation control. To do this:
- Activate group 4
- Yaw to the left until the desired elevation is reached. Hold the yaw control in place.
- Deactivate group 4 to lock the position.
To fire, use groups 1, 2, and 3. Each projectile is now equipped with a camera, so you can follow your shots. Note that the rearward projectile is lighter, and therefore fires considerably further.
The twin props provide a reasonable level of speed while conserving the fuel load pretty effectively, and while handling is not stellar, it's a fairly easy flyer.

@Skua Oh yea, congrats!
@Crdguy thanks! I'm impressed by the work that went in to your original version transforming. Also I think you just voted me up to silver, so I suppose double thanks are in order haha
