DC-16 Hover Assault

2,343 DanDaFreakinMan  5.1 years ago

This is my first successful take on a VTOL jet. It was based on one of the illustrative jet in the Ground School, but I've changed it a bit over time. As its name implies, it can indeed hover. It's actually a bit easier to control in hover mode. It is armed with a pair of miniguns and rocket pods. 1 for lights, 2 to activate gyroscope. Trust me, that gyro will help!
