HC-8

462 Flyer24  4.5 years ago

Today I came up with something I haven't built previously: watercraft. Here's the outcome. Let me present you the amphibious HC-8! Although I'm not sure what type of vehicle it really is (it doesn't hover since it has wheels to roll on), it sure is pretty cool :P
The HC-8 is a civilian-use variant of the military MHC-10.

CONTROLS:

AG1 - Activate engine 1
AG2 - Activate engine 2
Throttle - Engine thrust
VTOL - Propeller pitch (for fastest speeds, keep it centered, but if you see it overspeeding, push it further away from it - upwards (but not fully to keep going forth, downwards (but not fully) to reverse.
Gear - Extend/Retract underwater rudder (extended by default, retract when going on land)
Yaw - Rudder yaw

    A controls overhaul is coming for this craft, making steering much faster and even possible to do in place!
