For anyone hrer who plays multiplayer. It is so you can hook onto bigger planes via a specialised docking ring on the aircrafts underbelly. When the cockpit is under the docking ring, cut power and slide VTOL bar up full. This is only a concept so if it doesn't work thats ok.

EDIT- when i built the docking mechanism i took the back wheel of and forgot to put it back on. Sorry.

EDIT- here is the link to the docking rink prototype

    It works as a good bomb if you take off the front wings!

    @Swiftsure What? That's not possible unless you work hard, but this mechanism would still work though

    GUYS, By the docking
    ring he means a
    cylindrical fuselage
    that's lengthened
    somewhat, on the
    belly of a big aircraft
    (any Aircraft)

    well i have had this concept for a while for builds like AC-130s and other things that you would have a person with a weapon and you dock together and you control the plane while someone else controls the gun

    @Tully2001 i you think about the docking rind i can just be a ring of fusalage or somthing, probAbly best extended out from the larger aircraft in flight.
