8.2 years ago
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

@Starmang10 cheers dude
are you suggesting it can be a self launching bomb?
@Illusion k then
It works as a good bomb if you take off the front wings!
Hey, that's actually a good idea.
(I'm taking inspiration off this)

@Tully2001 @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation @MechWARRIOR57 @MrMecha @JMicah4 i just posted a plane with the prototype docking ring mechanism on it so you see what i think it should look like
@Swiftsure What? That's not possible unless you work hard, but this mechanism would still work though
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation You now what a dhonut looks like? Yeah i mean a doghnut shaped ring or a coat hangar, probably not what yoy thought i meant
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
@MrMecha @JMicah4 thanks guys now im silver because of this
I hope siver equals cool
@MrMecha just hope the C130's small.
@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.
@Tully2001 thanks
@Tully2001 please test
