Folding-wing rocket glider

112 JuicyPotate  5.6 years ago

Inspiration taken from Flight Test on YouTube. This glider rockets to 50,000ft then deploys its wings to soar down and land where ever you please, even the USS Beast. To use: fold the wings back with VTOL, raise the nose gear, deactive the gyro with Ag8 to stop the shaking then turn it back on (you'll need it). Ag1 starts the rockets and releases from the launch column. Let the gyro do most of the work, but small rudder inputs may be necessary to stay stable. once the motors burn out, Ag2 separates them. Ag8 to deactive the gyro and then VTOL to open the wings, then glide to your hearts content! (try folding them back to dive like a peregrine falcon). Arrestor hook is Ag4. Hope you enjoy! P.S. Feel free to make the glider look sexier and repost, I rushed the design.

    @Warshipplan52 just posted a painted one and removed the arrestor hook. Not sure why you couldn't take that off yourself though... :P
