AV-3 Narwhal
She took more time than I woulda liked but she's here!
So there isnt much to get into since I really want you to fly her, but:
•This is the second VTOL without gyro craft Ive made, the first was a proof of concept craft.
•The plane is quite controllable but it might take some getting used to.
•When entering VTOL mode from normal flight make sure your slow enough to avoid issues, 200mph should be good enough.
•Instructions for VTOL:
VTOL all the way down, AG-2 and throttle up to 60-70% (This depends on the current weight)
•Instructions for STOL:
VTOL half way down, AG-2 an throttle up to 50-60% (Again this depends on your current weight and how short your runway is)
•Instructions for a nice smooth transition to forward flight:
If in VTOL transition to STOL, then get up to 200mph or more then quickly set the VTOL to the middle and off AG-2 (The smoothness depends on how fast you are)
For landing just do the reverse of this
More instructions in-game
Stuff to note
•There are better and smoother VTOL jets that are devoid of gyros on the way, this is more or less a proof of concept, I'll let you decide if it was successful or not.
•There is no cockpit due to me wanting to keep it ultra mobile friendly (and laziness), but if you do want to fly it in VR then let me know, I will tag you on a successor post that will have one (wont be by me though).
•Who can guess what this is based on?
•Also, no gyros
Okay now go fly my plane!

@ToeTips Nice, tag me then
@WinsWings
Yeah! I'm planning to make 2 more
A yak 141 that currently flies better than this and a conceptual 5th gen.
Nice. I love VTOLS and have built some of them.
@Blueshift
Thanks!
great work- cool stuff !! 👍
@Zaineman
Yup! Exactly where the name came from .
@32 this is not the lightsaber wielding pickle you're looking for... Wait what were we talking about?
When you take off, going to chase camera mode and tell me it doesn't look exactly like a dolphin. Lol spotlighted, upvoted
@ToeTips this is not the lightsaber wielding pickle you're looking for
@N0ble
Thanks.
Looks Good
@32
Hmm, I dont know but rumors says he fancies the dark side.
@SaabJ29
I never even saw it as a mirage😅. I just looked at the Yak 38 for like 3 minutes and yoloed the rest.
@N0ble
What in the yak 38 mirage fuck is this
I like it, picasso.
Wonder what could have possibly caused this delay?
@MrCOPTY
Nah a bit more... Forger
It's Kinda...Freestyle
@MrSilverwolf
Can ya please help me make this a successor of this, the credit system didnt work as planned.
Ghost tags requested.
