This monster is still a work in progress but I though some of you might enjoy seeing what I've gotten so far. It is possible to take off and fly, though I'm encountering a roll to the right that I cannot trace. Be warned though, it will make most mobile platforms drop to nearly 1 fps.
To take off: adjust the vtol slider up by a half mark (should be between the second and third marks from the top), increase throttle to 100%, after a few seconds detach 1 to drop scaffolding, once a few meters in the air, adjust vtol slider up another mark (now between the top and second mark). You will need to make minor adjustments during this process to keep it level but with this method I can almost always get into the air somewhat steadily.

19.3k SkipperBing@ElijtheGeat I had been trying for ages to figure out a curve like that. Actually figured it out for the Kalinin K-7 based off of your blimp models. So thanks to you!9.8 years ago

14.0k ElijtheGeatI should have made mine longer, like this one. It looks great. Took me a while to figure out how to make the blimp come together at the ends like that. I guess we came up with the same solution.9.8 years ago

646 kellyJIncredible! I get lift-off around 92 mph w/VTOL at 45% aft, then smooth gliding across the sea at 80 mph. On my antique iPod. More, please!9.8 years ago
