Since the beginning of time man has found ways of transportation, but he has always had the desire for speed and freedom. In his mind, even in the form of myths, the flying animals were used to dominate the lack of other technological methods (See the Pegasus myth). But today as technology evolves the desires take another form…
This model is a flying motorcycle, capable of vertical landing. It has the ability to take off from an airport, only by putting the main engine in full. So the rider can simply enjoy the view from the camera of the cockpit (the process is almost automatic), but can also take off vertically. For the second procedure, you must activate the secondary engine with AG1 and place the VTOL near the second node, then just open the throttle until 200Mph and turn off the vertical engine. The reverse procedure is also required when landing, initially by holding the airbrakes open with the “B” above the target and pressing AG1 ...
This construction has hybrid aerodynamic control surfaces. Because the classic Elevator did not produce enough control at low speed landing, two small boosters were added for the vertical axis. For better control of the movement in the front section, have been selected “Elevons” (elevators and ailerons on the same surface). The model is optimally weighted at 350Mph, for carefree rides leave the engine at 35%, at the maximum speed it takes a little trim. AG2 is for lights.
Here you have something different in the field of personal mobility and motor sport, SimplePlanes style. Try it on the race tracks and have fun “shaving” mountains and seas.
Significant last minute change : To reduce the problem of stability on the vertical axis at max speed, please change the rear wings airfoil to SEMI SYMMETRICAL from symmetrical. Thanks .

Hello, I am really amzed with this stunning job!!!
Can i use your pilot figure as a block for my planes and creations?, of course, i will give a credit in the description.
Thanks!
Looks like the oppressor mk ll from gta 5
@Nobie Nope . Did you like it?

@Viper3000ad thanks! I will let you know :)
@iwannabeelected no I am very interested to see what else can we build. Tag me when it is ready 😊
Hey! I made some nice hubless wheels and I'm going to put one on this bike and upload it as a successor. I will make it shorter and remove some excessive parts but it still will be recognizable. Hope you don't mind :) Because I suck at making cool bikes and, especially, human figures.
I’m going to pull you up above me again @Viper3000ad
@BlackhattAircraft Congratulations, I already see your golden glow :-)
I’m going to tag you in my official gold post, because you are......... .

Underrated and I can’t stand it @Viper3000ad
@SelectAKey That is easy, just take off the rider and save it as subassembly. Please Tag me when you make a new version .
@Viper3000ad but i mean this is the second one made on site. been here from the beginning. before the gyro scope. one question. can you make that body a single piece cause i forsee more bikes now
After your comment I saw a video from the game. Very funny programm ! :-)@SelectAKey
second rocket jockey
@Viper3000ad You're welcome. (Lol)
@Ryn176 Hello Indonesia, thanks for the spotlight.
@ColonelStriker when I was making this I had in mind a contestant from BMW for hover bikes . From there I took the skeleton without any parts, so it has a similar angle towards, but the rest was fictional. From my recent research I have few more interesting ideas, maybe I will make another model sometime soon.
m8 rly? I thought you’ve based it from the GTA V @Viper3000ad
Far out man
Τhank you very much for the vote, I think now with gyroscopes it is much easier. Congratulations you created a game that promotes innovation and love for flying. @weebabyseamus
I loved this game! I tried creating this years ago as close as I could at the time, and have been waiting for some else to do it ever since. You now have all my upvotes.
1000 Amazing downloads in 2 days. Thanks for the support and the feedback. Happy Flights !!
